May 2019. In the shadow of the towers of London’s financial heart, Canary Wharf, a golden Ford transit van explodes. After years of planning, this is the final act that cancels more than $1.5 million of high interest "toxic debt" for one London community.
Bank Job is a white-knuckle ride into the dark heart of the global financial system. Discover how art hacks life as artist and filmmaker duo Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn bring a community together to buy up and abolish crippling debt by printing their own money in a disused bank in East London. Behind the opaque language of loans and the defunct diagrams of debt, they discover a system flawed by design and ripe for hacking.
Part daring tale, part personal memoir, and part financial education, Bank Job shares reflections of the authors’ own experiences of debt. It examines the wider impact of a society that, for generations, has entangled the concept of money with personal identity. And for those brave enough among us, it offers a real way to change the system to meet the needs of the many, not just the few - one bank job at a time.
