The World Stripped Bare

Unveiling the Dark Secrets of the City of London

Introduction

In a world plagued by the imminent threat of climate change, there is an urgent need for action. In a satirical and sardonic documentary titled “The World Stripped Bare,” filmmakers John Clarkson and Jacqui Edwards took 2 years to write this amazing film. It will take the viewers on a  journey through the heart of the global financial capital, the City of London, and offshore to its empire, a dim echo of the British Empire, shedding light on its role in the destruction of our planet. This provocative film not only exposes the deceptive claims of London’s financial centre being environmentally conscious but also delves into the underlying causes of pollution, war, disease, and conflict worldwide. With limited time to address climate change, understanding the true impact of the Square Mile becomes pivotal.

A Deceptive Veil: The Green Mirage

In this eye-opening documentary, we unearth the unsettling truth behind the City of London’s supposed commitment to environmental sustainability. Despite its proclamations of being green, the financial centre’s actions appear to contribute significantly to the very problems it claims to combat.

Jacob, the embodiment of an evil banker, along with his accomplice with a secret and a conscience, Sarah,  play pivotal roles in the dramatized scenes that reveal the stark reality surrounding tax injustice and environmental devastation.

The Dark Link: Tax Injustice

“The World Stripped Bare” sheds light on the insidious connection between tax injustice and environmental destruction.

This documentary serves as a pilot for a series of films that will explore the underlying causes of climate change, starting with the glaring issue of tax evasion. By exposing the extent to which tax injustice permeates the financial system, the film highlights how this injustice acts as a catalyst for environmental devastation. Unveiling this hidden truth is crucial in mobilizing action towards a fairer and more sustainable world.

Unmasking Conflict: Arms Dealing and Conflict Areas

Beyond tax injustice, the film scrutinizes another sinister aspect of the City of London’s influence – its role in arms dealing and conflict areas. By examining the complex web of financial transactions tied to conflicts around the globe, “The World Stripped Bare” uncovers a disturbing connection between the Square Mile and the perpetuation of violence. This revelation not only raises moral questions but also emphasizes the urgency to dismantle these destructive mechanisms.

Unintended Consequences: Veganism and Green Technology

One would expect that embracing veganism or investing in green technology would be a positive step towards combating climate change. However, the documentary posits that these initiatives may have unintended consequences, including modern-day forms of slavery. Delving deeper into the issue, “The World Stripped Bare” presents a thought-provoking argument that challenges the status quo. It urges viewers to re-evaluate the impacts of their choices and actions, focusing on not just surface-level solutions but the profound structural changes necessary for genuine progress.
