The Spider's Web

John Christensen
Tuesday 16th October, 3pm - 5pm, Venue: TFTV Department, Campus East, in the Black Box

We are fortunate to welcome Jon Christensen to present The Spider's Web - a documentary that has received worldwide acclaim - that undertakes an investigation into the world of Britain’s secrecy jurisdictions and the City of London. This is a great opportunity to learn more about corporate power and tax avoidance from someone heavily involved in the film and it promises to be a fantastic event.

Jon Christensen is Director of the Tax Justice Network. He trained as a forensic auditor and economist. For 11 years he was economic adviser to the government of the British Channel Island of Jersey.

In 2003 he became what the Guardian has described as “the unlikely figurehead of a worldwide campaign against tax avoidance.” His research on offshore finance has been widely published in books and academic journals, and John has taken part in many films, television documentaries and radio programmes.
