Our take
Netflix documentary on Sweden's 1997 Trustor financial fraud, rated TV-14. Interviews with fugitive Joachim Posener and other players explain how the company was bought with its own money. Talky and darkly comic rather than violent. Fine for most teens around 13+.
Uplifting themes
The film asks whether financial justice truly repaired the harm done to taxpayers Journalists and investigators add perspective, though most subjects are convicted or accused fraudsters A strong primer on corporate fraud mechanics, media scrutiny and legal limits on prosecution
Story (may spoil tone)
For the first time since 1997, Joachim Posener finally emerges from hiding and allows himself to be interviewed about his life and the Trustor affair. Twenty-seven years ago, he disappeared without a trace, and ever since, he has been on the international most wanted list. Now, Karin af Klintberg searches for him to find out how he lives and where he's been hiding all these years. But perhaps above all, to uncover what everyone is wondering: Was he guilty? Through new and opposing testimonies from never-before-heard voices, Karin simultaneously continues the search for the truth about the coup. How could five people swindle 600 million kr and still go free? And where did the money actually go?
