    • Approximately twenty thousand Russian houses, businesses, factories and private land have all been victims of hostile seizures annually, not by individuals, but by an organized corporation. This "enterprise" comprises criminal bosses, well-known politicians, oligarchs, police officers, judges and prosecutors – the "Raiders" – who will commit any crime in order to take over a lucrative business. The film offers a fascinating close-examination, by following raided victims, some of whom are now London-based exiled businessmen.
