I stumbled upon this documentary, not quite well understanding what it was all about, but I got hooked when I realised that hundreds of Brits got scammed financially in a terrible way, because of some (supposedly) bulletproof computersystem The Postoffice uses in Britain.
Not being British myself I didnt quite understand at first that The Postoffice is an institute in Britain, that is looked upon as solid and trustworthy. Well, NO LONGER...
What happened was that at a specifically shady central computer system lots of money got stolen and consequently ordinary hard working totally INNOCENT postoffice employees were being accused of grand scale theft! What the what!
Quite shocking to watch how the system can crush ordinary people, but in this case those victims fought back and finally WON! Although still not every body who was accused wrongly has been compensated. Such a shame!
