Bribe, Inc. tells the true-crime tale of one of the most audacious bribery schemes in modern history. In the shadows of the global oil industry, the Ahsani family ran their small Monaco-based company with jet-set style and total impunity. Unaoil helped many of the world’s best-known companies secure lucrative deals throughout the Middle East – until a company insider came forward with hundreds of thousands of pages of damning information that he leaked to investigative reporter Nick McKenzie.
In a manhunt spanning four continents, Nick teams up with leading anti-corruption activist Alexandra Wrage to untangle the Ahsanis’ web of deceit and corruption. As the plot twists and turns, will justice be served?
Variety called the film’s revelations “explosive” with “potentially huge global reverberations.”
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the film’s producers and with Alexandra Wrage, a key character in the film who is the founder of TRACE International, a leading anti-corruption organization.
Filled with the kind of cloak-and-dagger developments one associates with potboilers and airport novels – clandestine meetings, coded emails and secret-filled hard drives.

Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl
Aardman Animation's handcrafted mix of dad jokes, slapstick, mock dramatics and understated emotion makes this return for the claymation odd couple a constant delight. The villainous Feathers McGraw is back to no good, commandeering Norbot the robot. Rated: G
The End
Set in a deluxe bunker two decades after environmental collapse, the first dramatic feature from Joshua Oppenheimer (Act of Killing) is an unironic musical starring Tilda Swinton, Michael Shannon, and George MacKay. The cult starts here.
It's a Wonderful Life
Every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings. This Christmas classic is whimsical, sure, but it has the depth to stand up to multiple watches, and it really should be a communal experience, because that is what it's about. Rated: G
