More than 15,000 lobbyists work the corridors of Brussels, the seat of the European Union, and this film tracks how they shape the laws that govern half a billion people. Director Friedrich Moser follows PR firms, corporate consultants, and think tanks that draft position papers and talking points which often end up, nearly word for word, in EU regulations. Interviews with lobbyists, policy-makers, and the researchers who track them lay out the mechanics: how a trade association gets a seat at the table that a public-interest group never gets, how funding for a think tank buys access rather than just influence, and how the sheer density of firms clustered around EU institutions turns Brussels into what insiders call the world's second-biggest lobbying hub after Washington. Archive footage of hearings and press conferences sits alongside the interviews rather than replacing them. The film does not claim a single conspiracy, just an accumulation of ordinary transactions between money and law, and lets the numbers on lobbyist headcount and spending make the argument.
