Traders
What side of the deal will you be on?
Directed by Peter Murphy, Rachael Moriarty
Produced by COCO Television, Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland
A dark thriller that explores a morally inverted premise where consensual murder becomes a rational economic alternative, grounded in philosophical desperation rather than spectacle.
What if it made perfect sense for ordinary people to kill each other for money? Better than slow grinding financial ruin and misery, and all done according to a strict code by consenting adults. This is Trading.
