A film about anti-corruption agencies in Peru and Chile being trained to hunt for corrupt officials. The training is a simulation that runs simultaneously, with the teams competing against each other. It is organized by the so called “corruption hunters” of the World Bank.

As the integrity vice presidency had approached me to do a film about this training, I suggested the format of a reality show. I filmed successively over the course of ten days in Lima, Santiago de Chile and Washington. The final result gives the appearance and tension of a simultaneous drama, even though the actual work just happens on computer screens.
