SESSION 27
3:40 PM MAKE A CIRCLE (US, 90 min)
5:20 PM TAX WARS (Belgium/Chile/France/India/Norway/UK/US/Zambia, 93 min)
In MAKE A CIRCLE, filmmakers present a moving portrait of life as an early childhood educator. It is a love letter to early educators and a rallying cry for a childcare system in crisis.
An estimated $427 billion in tax is lost yearly to global tax abuse by multinationals and the wealthy. The pandemic and the war in Ukraine have worsened income inequality, with the world's ten richest men doubling their fortunes while 99% of people saw their incomes drop. TAX WARS exposes efforts to prioritize people over profits, holding multinationals accountable for fair tax contributions.
