Introduction
In this montage of archival news footage and interviews, we observe the shadow world of the global arms trade, where corruption, lies, and greed drive covert relationships between politicians, industry executives, military and intelligence officials, and arms dealers.
Their aim is to perpetuate war to generate more profit, no matter what the human cost might be.
Based upon the 2011 book by Andrew Feinstein, “The Shadow World: Inside the Global Arms Trade.”
