Filmoption International is pleased to announce that the feature documentary The Price We Pay, directed by Harold Coorks, has been selected by the Toronto International Film Festival to screen in TIFF DOCS. The Price We Pay exposes how “offshore” tax havens, and Google, Amazon and the other tech giants of the “cloud” economy are eroding the foundations of the democratic state.

Tax havens, originally created by London bankers in the 50’s, today put over half the world’s stock of money beyond reach of public treasuries. Nation states are being reshaped by this offshoring of the world’s wealth. Tax avoidance by big corporations and the wealthy – citizens of nowhere for tax purposes – is paving the way to historic levels of inequality and placing the tax burden on the middle class and the poor. Crusading journalists, tax justice campaigners and former finance and technology industry insiders speak frankly about the accelerating trends that are carrying the Western world to an unsustainable future.
