419: The Internet Romance Scam
419: The Internet Romance Scam follows the stories of two middle-aged British women - Brenda and Caroline - who were both scammed in late 2009 by men using fake identities. Despite similar beginnings - a work trip to West Africa, followed by a terrible car crash, and a plea for urgent hospital fees, the stories take staggeringly different twists. Barney Lankester-Owen's film examines the complex psychology of internet romance scams and features rare access to a former Nigerian scammer.
