Synopsis:

20 Million dollars blown in 666 days! What the F%#* Happened?!!! Laced with cynical wit, biting social sarcasm and an in-your-face investigative style, RIOT ON! follows a bunch of young Finnish executives in their two-year attempt to become insanely rich by creating a mobile phone entertainment company that would attract millions of dollars in investment from worldwide corporate giants such as Nokia, News Corporation and the Bin Laden backed Carlyle. Although RIOT-E attracted a surprising amount of success, success inevitably leads to excess. Soon RIOT-E attracted infamy within the media for its wild parties, indulgent group sex sessions, naked restaurant wrestling and for its executives defiantly running naked through the night streets of Helsinki. The drugs were plenty, the sex on tap and debauchery in abundance. But blown minds lead to blown deals, and, in the end, even the man who worked at the office in high heels and a skirt couldnt save RIOT-E or their investors from financial ruin. Now filmmakers and former RIOT-E executives Kim Finn and John Hakalax take us on a compelling journey through the corporate cons and plastic pleasures provided by company credit cards in a no-holes-barred expos featuring previous executives and staff who seem to have more than just axes to grind. Funny, barely believable and something of a warning against hiring your relatives, RIOT ON! is a non-stop rollercoaster ride into the realms of multi-million dollar mistakes, personal tragedies and outlandish indulgence.
