Iraq is in debt to the tune of $383,000,000,000. Mark Thomas tries to pay it off.

In this film we hijacked arms dealers, rattled our tin at an Iraq debt trader, tried to sell the Iraq's cash-strapped Rafidain Bank, door-stepped diplomat David Gore-Booth, and tried to sell a slice of Iraq cake to investors and interviewed Basil Al-Rahim, the financier who introduced the Bush family to the Bin Laden family and has a big idea about how to solve the Iraqi debt problem.
