All the Queen's Horses

The documentary takes up a fraud. It happened in a small town in Illinois. A woman looked after the town’s finances. Her title was comptroller. Her job was to manage public money. Over twenty years she moved that money to herself. The total reached fifty three million dollars. She put the money into a business. The business was breeding horses. The stable she built became known across the country. The town meanwhile could not find money for services. For a long time nobody noticed. The documentary sets out how it went on so long. How it came to light is in the film as well. Kelly Richmond Pope directed the seventy minute documentary. The American production was finished in 2017.
