Fighting for Survival
Description:... "Fighting for Survival" is the story of two brothers who run an increasingly successful group of companies riding high in the boom years of the 1980's. Originally a small family firm founded by Janek Sosinski, who arrived in England from Poland after the war, the Sosinski Group run by the brothers now comprises six companies. As Britain slides into recession in the nineties, an expensive legal battle, a rift in the family, fraud by the director of the most successful company within the group and the terminal illness of one of the brothers and joint managing director brings about the collapse of the group. Based on real life experiences "Fighting for Survival" is a behind the headlines story of the real effects of political policy and the recession - a vivid illustration of the human devastation caused by economic downturn. "Fighting for Survival" shows how the legal system gives judgement but no justice, how a successful businessman can be destroyed by the intransigence of the banks and the manipulation of receivership. It is a story of an ordinary man fighting the legal and banking systems, an ordinary man betrayed by someone he trusts, a man who loses control to the institutions and fights the bank who callously serve a writ for one point two million pounds on his dying brother. He faces the loss of his business and his financial security, and equally courageously he faces the death of his brother, partner and best friend. "Fighting for Survival" is a human story with commercial poignancy, showing the human endeavours, personal conflicts, hardship and heartache caused when a commercial dream is shattered.
