Trillion Dollar Island - Thousands of kilometres away from the United Kingdom lies a secretive slice of Britain; a small sun-soaked Caribbean paradise - the Cayman Islands. Watched over by a governor appointed from London, the Caymans are well and truly British, but with one big difference: no-one seems to be paying a penny of tax! Not locals. Not expats. Not big global corporations. And thanks to this tax-free status, Cayman has built a finance industry that's brought one and a half trillion pounds into its banks. There are twice as many companies registered in the Caymans as there are people. But what's really going on? Is it tax avoidance on an epic scale? President Obama thought so - he described one building in the Caymans, Ugland House, home to nearly 20,000 registered companies, as "either the biggest building, or the biggest tax scam, on record". Now investigative reporter Jacques Peretti has been given unprecedented access to Cayman's politicians and financiers, its millionaires and the ordinary British expats who've built a life here in the sun. Peretti is on a mission to get to the heart of what makes Cayman tick and to uncover the unexpected truth about what its existence really means for everyone in Britain.

Marking the 80th anniversary of the Wall Street Crash, this film looks back at the great financial disaster which shook the 20th century. Startlingly topical in view of the bleak banking crisis of today, the film traces the background and backlash of 1929 with astonishingly fresh and detailed archive footage. The Wall Street Crash spread around the world like a malign infection. It humbled the rich and destroyed the savings of millions of ordinary people. It brought mass unemployment and near starvation to Europe and Asia, and slowed world trade for nearly a decade. The Crash also re-painted the political landscape, triggering the rise of ruthless dictators such as Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin. 1929: The Year of The Crash follows the wondrously decadent trail of the decade known as The Rolling Twenties the years in which Americans celebrated their post war status as world leaders in industry and modern invention, in which Jazz set the style for a worldwide generation and Hollywood movies featured glittering stars that bewitched a global audience. Setting the scene for a nation's dizzying rise, the film then plunges into the depths of its terrible fall, exposing the poverty, dole queues and squalid soup kitchens which followed in the wake of the Wall Street Crash. Finally, it reveals how an unlikely hero, Franklin Roosevelt, rode to the rescue of his wounded country, bringing hope and optimism back into the hearts of his people.

We may think power resides with Presidents and Prime Ministers, in palaces and parliaments, but it doesn't. It lies with the men who control the world's bond markets. After the rise of banks, the birth of the bond market was the next big revolution in the history of finance. Today the global market for bonds is still bigger than all the world's stock markets put together.

Compelling, intelligent, and highly entertaining, the film visits with the world's top experts and comes to a startling, but logical conclusion, our industrial society, built on cheap and readily available oil, must be completely re-imagined and overhauled.
