A documentary on illegal, essentially economic migration from African countries, notably leaving from the Libyan shores, to 'promised land' Europe. Reporting home to Ghana allows a 'famous' lucky emigrant, who got into Italy, to explain that even in the unlikely event of surviving the trip without being returned, life as unschooled immigrant hardly lives up to dreams before departure.

In 2008, the British (and many other) banks were bailed out by governments. In return for billions of tax payers money, they were supposed to help kick-start the economy and clean up their management bonus-act. A year later, the bank sector's record on both counts is contemptible. Instead of passing on cheap credit, they stifle business investments and private credit, even the mortgages they over-sold before - and causing the credit crunch. Furthermore they keep organizing tax evasion.
