The film imagines what would happen if a person was granted the same privileges extended to corporations - enter Tony Sleaze. Tony is a human representation of a corporation, and we follow him as he acts out some of their most disgraceful behaviours, from dumping toxic waste (Trafigura dumped toxic waste in the Ivory Coast in 2006), to avoiding tax (Glencore deliberately structures their business so they pay as little tax as possible), much to the disgust of the onlooking public.
The film comes as Greenpeace International sets out the ten fundamental principles needed to cut environmental and human rights abuses by corporations in the ‘Justice for People and Planet’ report.
