Chancers: The Great Gangster Film Fraud
πŸ“œ Overview: Documentary about a bankrupt Jordanian entrepreneur and an unemployed Irish actress who hatch a plan to scam Β£2.5m off the British taxman by faking the production of a Β£20m movie. But they are found out, arrested and then bailed. While out on bail, they decide to prove their innocence by actually making a film. They hire a former nightclub bouncer, now a self-made micro-budget gangster film director. In 2011, Paul Knight makes their movie for under Β£100,000 with a cast of soap and gangster movie stars including Danny Midwinter, Marc Bannerman and Loose Women's Andrea McLean. The film's title is A Landscape of Lies. But the cinematic alibi does not convince the jury when the trial runs in 2013. The producers are convicted of tax fraud and given long sentences.
