Overview

In 1995, former KLF members Bill Drummond and Jimi Cauty did exactly what the title promises: they burned one million pounds of their own cash in a Scottish island shack while their roadie filmed it. The documentary that followed is a straight record of the act and the silence around it. It carries a Leans Traditional label mostly by default. The film avoids progressive cultural touchstones entirely. No identity politics, no social messaging, no DEI framing. Its philosophical provocation sits closer to a nihilistic rejection of materialism than any progressive cause, and the absence of ideological content leaves the needle pointing mildly toward traditional simply because nothing pulls it the other way.
