Secret City investigates the City of London, the Corporation that runs it, and its role in the economic crisis.
The film exposes the Corporation’s anti-democratic constitution, the ancient laws which allow it function as a state within a state, and the power wielded by the Corporation over British economic policy, through which it sustains London s prime position at the hub of global finance capital, not least through control of the majority of the world’s tax havens.
But this film is not just for Londoners – the role of the City concerns everyone everywhere.
