TDP 1358: OCAS - PILOT REVIEW BIG FINISH ORIGINAL
17/05/2025 Duration: 12minGreed is a sickness. In the mid-21st century, the country has changed. Following a populist revolution, which brought down the entire system of government, society now aims to be more compassionate and equitable. Poverty is a distant memory, public services are properly funded, and separation between 'haves' and 'have-not' is a thing of the past. Those responsible for the corruption of the old world - people who abandoned moral principles in pursuit of wealth and power - have been diagnosed with a disorder: Obsessive Capital Accumulation Syndrome (OCAS). They have been removed from society to undergo treatment and rehabilitation, and without them, the nation has flourished. Making a documentary to commemorate the anniversary of May '33, Leo interviews those who were at the centre of events twenty years before. But as he scratches the surface of the new regime, he finds that the official history does not tell all. Britain may strive to be better for everyone - but utopia comes at a price. This release incl
