The Narrative

The Narrative is a Swiss documentary centered on Kweku Adoboli, a young trader at UBS in London. While he initially earns millions for the firm, his life changes when he accepts responsibility for losses totaling 2.3 billion dollars. The film examines the legal proceedings and official records of his case to challenge the standard version of events, exploring the nature of accountability within global capitalism.

Directed by Martin Schilt and Bernard Weber, the film was written by Ben Hopkins along with both directors. Kweku Adoboli appears as himself throughout the 99-minute production. The project was produced by several companies, including SRG SSR, SRF, The Bigger Picture, and Zeitraum Film. Released on March 12, 2026, the film provides a focused look at the financial and legal fallout of the trading scandal.
