Review of" Bank Job  

Film directed by: Hilary Powell , Daniel Edelstyn 

Film released: 2021

Summary
A creative documentary

Review

Not really a film about money and how debt works - although that came in to it. The focus was more on the mechanics of the creative project - printing and selling your own "money" and using the proceeds to support the local community by donating to local causes and symbolically destroying some local debt by blowing up a van full of a million bits of paper saying "debt"

More a film about filmmaking than an explanatory documentary - ultimately the explosion is just a film-makers trope (wank?) but quite entertaining along the way - lots of good real people doing stuff outside the system.
