AS LONG AS I MADE PROFIT

The Kweku Adoboli Story

As long as Kweku Adoboli is making millions for UBS in London, his future seems golden. But when the young trader takes responsibility for a $2.3 billion loss, the narrative shifts dramatically.

The film questions the conventional portrayal of his story, reconstructing the trial from the original court transcripts. A process that raises more questions than it answers.

The Narrative, a film about responsibility within the machinery of global capitalism.

A courtroom scene with a judge or lawyer wearing a wig sitting at the front, facing a defendant and a judge or jury in the background.
A digital painting of a man in profile, wearing a gray suit and a white shirt, against a brown background.
