A LEAK IN PARADISE
DIR DAVID LELOUP.
// DC PREMIERE. 76 MIN. 2016
A LEAK IN PARADISE follows Swiss whistleblower Rudolf Elmer, a former senior
banking executive who first leaked highly secretive banking data to WikiLeaks.
Elmer faced criminal prosecution at home and became a social outcast, but his
disclosures unleashed a torrent of investigative reporting on the vast sums hidden
away in secret bank accounts and tax havens across the globe. They also prompted
demands from Washington for greater transparency at Swiss banks.
POST-SCREENING DISCUSSION TO FOLLOW WITH:
David LeLoup, director, A LEAK IN PARADISE; Eric Lipton, journalist, The New York Times;
Rudolf Elmer, film subject.
