"The documentary The Spider’s Web: Britain’s Second Empire, directed by Michael Oswald, uncovers the hidden mechanisms of financial power that replaced Britain’s colonial empire. With meticulous research and stark revelations, Oswald delves into how the City of London transformed into a global financial hub, orchestrating a vast network of offshore secrecy jurisdictions. This system enables tax evasion, money laundering, and wealth concealment on an unprecedented scale, allowing Britain to maintain its influence in a world shaped by decolonization. Through interviews with economists, historians, and insiders, the film reveals how financial power shifted into the shadows, creating a modern empire built not on land but on wealth manipulation."
