An impressive look under the hood of how fraud at the highest levels of government was staged and then pulled off, "Man on the Run" is both impressive for its access and storytelling.
How two people brazenly stole hundreds of millions of dollars from their own country, flaunted it publicly, and even got so far as funding the Martin Scorsese film, "The Wolf of Wall Street", which was ABOUT CORRUPTION -was as baffling as it was fascinating.
But beyond the villains - the story also did a fantastic job of illustrating the cost. The financial burden they put on an entire country for their actions juxtaposed with the everyman's desire to just be able to live was beautiful, heartbreaking, and ultimately a very strong call to action for accountability.
Absolutely worth the watch, and a VERY relevant film no matter where you're from.
