Bribe, Inc.

This event has passed

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.”
