Pickpocketing A Country

If you’re a South African, you know about the Gupta family stealing billions of Rands in cash and assets, using and abusing state resources and facilities like it belonged to them – and most worrying of all, getting away with it.

Documentary film How To Steal A Country (2020) needs to be seen by everyone and you can stream it on Showmax now. It’s produced by Rehad Desai (2014 Marikana Massacre documentary Miners Shot Down) and Emmy winner Mark J Kaplan (2013 Israel-Palestine documentary The Village Under The Forest), so it isn’t a fluff piece to watch as background noise. How To Steal A Country is a brutal investigation into how South Africa has been exploited by a complex network of thieves using the presidency to get the job done. The doccie is 93 minutes long – the duration of a feature film. But it’s more important than any film you’re going to watch in 2020 for these reasons…
