Romania, the laggard of the European Union with regards to corruption, has recently become the centre stage of one of the most ferocious anti-corruption battles of the planet.
Dozens of anti-corruption judges and prosecutors, courts working at full capacity, websites with lessons about bribery online, guided tours of the capital’s headquarters of cheating… The Romanians are not short of ideas, ways and humour to make this radical change within their society possible.
The prize list is particularly impressive: 1138 convictions, including 9 ministers, 7 senators, 1 general, 18 judges… Plus the bonus of a former Prime Minister! And recently the indictment of the mayor of Bucarest!
So how is one of the most corrupt states of Europe managing this amazing feat?
This film is an exclusive immersion into the heart of an anti-corruption battle, one of its kind in Europe.
