How to Steal a Country (2019)
How to Steal a Country documents the Gupta family’s rise from flea-market shoe salesmen to owners of a controversial business empire in South Africa in fewer than 10 years. The documentary runs as a suspenseful detective story uncovering one huge bribery scandal after another, involving the top echelons of political power and several well-known multinational corporations.
How to Steal a Country is the latest offering from multi-award-winning documentary filmmakers Rehad Desai (Everything Must Fall, Miners Shot Down) and Mark J Kaplan (The Lion’s Trail, The Village Under The Forest). It is streaming first and only on Showmax.
