In 2008 Nobu Su was a shipping magnate with a multi-billion dollar empire. Then came the financial crisis and, as he tells it, the ‘biggest banking scandal you’ve never heard of’. Nobu is convinced he has been ripped off and is on a mission to salvage his life’s work and bring those responsible to justice. Playing out as part international espionage thriller, part character study, Tom Meadmore (How To Lose Jobs And Alienate Girlfriends, EEFF 2015) illuminates the murky waters of the global shipping world, the financial crisis and the life of a sincere but flawed maverick.
