Craig Tanner

Biography

Craig Tanner’s filmmaking draws on skills developed as a legal practitioner over more than three decades, initially as a labour lawyer representing trade unions in South Africa in the late 1980s, the 1990s, and the turn of the century, then as an Arbitrator determining workers’ compensation disputes in Sydney, Australia. Craig’s films, Fahrenheit 2010, and The March of the White Elephants, were feature documentaries that explored the corrupt practices of FIFA, and the diversion of public funds in South Africa and Brazil from pressing social priorities such as health, housing and education, to build surplus stadiums for a four-week soccer tournament.
