Thom Yorke and Robert Del Naja from Massive Attack have collaborated on a score for The UK Gold, a new film on tax evasion in the UK.

Directed by Mark Donne, the feature-length documentary charts the battle of a vicar in the parish of in the London borough of Hackney against ‘an ancient and mighty heavyweight revealing its central status as the tax-haven nerve centre of the world’.

The film will be narrated by The Wire actor Dominic West while featuring a score with new music from Thom Yorke, Robert Del Naja and Elbow’s Guy Garvey.

Mark Donne said: ‘This is a political documentary, but more than anything else it is an extraordinary story.

‘A pretty stunning soundtrack from the creative hearts of Radiohead and Massive Attack creates a spellbinding experience.’

The film will be premiered as part of the East End Film Festival at London’s Troxy on 25 June.
