Tax Wars takes viewers behind the scenes of a global effort to put people before profits, hold multinationals accountable, and demand the world’s most powerful corporations pay their fair share of taxes.    

As never before, the pandemic exposed the harsh realities of growing income inequality in a globalized economy. It is necessary to finance economic recovery and find funds for hospitals and school systems. At the same time, mitigating and adapting to the climate crisis is extremely urgent. Countries are in need of more tax money to be able to make these critical changes.  Multinational companies must start paying their part.   

Along with world-renowned experts such as Nobel Prize winner Joseph Stiglitz, Thomas Piketty, Eva Joly, and activists, this film will question, put into perspective, and decipher the advances and limits of the international agreement on the taxation of multinationals announced in October 2021.
