Краткое содержание
In life, the Libyan leader ruled with an iron fist for 42 years and treated Libya's wealth as his own. He died the richest man on the planet with a fortune of $150 billion. A dictatorial leader in life, the spell of Gaddafi's money remained in place after his death, triggering a ruthless race to find his missing billions. Two journalists pick up the trail of a mysterious $12.5 billion in cash, flown out of Libya in the dead of night just months before Gaddafi's demise.
История о скандале, который потряс мир. Фильм основан на реальной истории о расследовании, проведенном журналистами газеты "The Boston Globe". В редакцию городской газеты из анонимного источника поступила информация о якобы имевших место случаях педофилии, которые происходят в местной митрополии. Служителей церкви аноним обвиняет в том, что те подвергают насилию детей, многие из которых – сироты. Однако доказательств нет, и ведущие журналисты приступают к расследованию. В назревающем скандале оказываются замешанными не только обычные священники, но и городской архиепископ. Не потому ли так неохотно идут на контакт свидетели, что попросту боятся?

Tommy Robinson goes on the offensive by documenting how his own “hit piece” on his character was being constructed by the taxpayer-funded BBC for their popular investigative news special “Panorama.” In the film he manages to capture footage of the blackmailing of his former employees to invent stories, along with an organization—known as “Hope not Hate”—on set with the BBC, intimidating ex-employees of Robinson during interviews. The host of “Panorama” at the time of filming is caught on camera casually using racist and homophobic slurs during a £220 champagne lunch with the same ex-employee they had planned to coach for a fake interview in which the BBC would possibly edit in which to make it appear as, “a gender, a sexual thing against Tommy Robinson,” according to the host. Within 24 hours of releasing the film, social media giant Facebook made a public statement of their own and removed Tommy Robinson’s accounts permanently.
