How to Get Filthy Rich with Gary Stevenson

Gary Stevenson got rich by reading the markets better than anyone. Now he's using that same sharp eye to take the whole system apart.

In this provocative state-of-the-nation film, Stevenson travels across the country meeting those most affected by the widening wealth gap, alongside multi-millionaires and billionaires who sit at the other end of the economic spectrum. Having made millions during his career in finance, Stevenson now campaigns against the expanding divide between rich and poor, and examines what he believes is driving inequality in Britain today. The documentary sees him engage with economists, financiers, public sector workers and individuals from across society, going head-to-head with critics of his views while also hearing from those who support his proposed solutions. At the heart of the film is Stevenson’s belief that meaningful change requires a wealth tax, with the super-rich contributing more to address what he sees as a broken system.
