"Lie To Me"
Java Films announces the international premier of OneCoin fraud documentary film "Lie To Me" at CPH:Dox in the F:ACT Competition, after its first screening in hometown Oslo at the HUMAN International Documentary Film Festival. The film has already been acquired by TVE and Al-Jazeera having been in production by Norwegian production house Hacienda Films for three and a half years.
Producer Dag Mykland says, "‘Lie To Me' is a film about getting rich quick, human weaknesses and false hope. A film about the fact that we are all longing for someone, or something, and how far we are willing to go to achieve just that. About how professionals exploit this fundamental nature of human beings for their own benefit or simply to rob them of their life savings and dreams".
"Lie to Me" is the story of how tech nerd and blockchain expert Bjørn Bjercke overturned the OneCoin pyramid scheme, the biggest Crypto fraud in history. Bjørn’s story is supported by rich archive material, interviews with fraud victims from Oslo, London, Stockholm and Uganda, experts in crypto and branding, fraud hunters and journalists.
Alongside "Lie To Me", Hege Dehli’s "Tax Wars" will have its World Premiere in the Norwegian Competition at HUMAN International Documentary Film Festival, with its International Premiere taking place at FIFDH Geneva as part of the Focus Competition. The project from Mechanix Films and Yuzu Productions, commissioned by ARTE, is now ready.
"Tax Wars" takes its viewers behind the scenes of a global effort to put people before profits, hold multinationals accountable, and make the world’s most powerful corporations pay their fair share of taxes. Along with world-renowned experts such as Joseph Stiglitz, Thomas Piketty and Eva Joly, the feature examines the limits of the international agreement on the taxation of multinationals announced in October 2021.
