film competition deadline end of August

the Robin Hood Tax
"t’s really easy to enter: we’re looking for films that tell the audience about The Robin Hood Tax in an interesting and innovative way.

The Robin Hood Tax is a tiny tax on banks that would give billions to tackle poverty and climate change, here and abroad. The public have bailed out the banks to the tune of £20 trillion in total. In the UK alone the bailout cost £31,250 per person. Isn’t it now time society was paid back?

Our message to governments is clear: “Tax the banks, not the people.”

We think the Robin Hood Tax could be the most important idea of this generation. What do you think? "
