THE NARRATIVE

As long as I made profit

The Ghanaian Kweku Adoboli was the “golden boy” of UBS Bank London. But belonging to the West came at a cost he never saw coming.
As long as the young trader was making hundreds of millions in profits for the major Swiss bank, he was celebrated as a model employee and his promotion to the management ranks was planned.
The film re-enacts his London trial using the original court transcripts. A trial that raises more questions than it answers.
Promised everything, deported with nothing.
