Shadow World

Based on Andrew Feinstein's acclaimed book of the same title, the film reveals how the international trade in weapons – with the complicity of governments and intelligence agencies, investigative and prosecutorial bodies, weapons manufacturers, dealers and agents – determines economic and foreign policies, undermines democracy and creates widespread suffering. Through scrutinizing research and by approaching both dangerous places and bright thinkers (such as the late Eduardo Galeano), the director with the distinctive style sheds light on how our realities are being constructed, but also posits alternative perspectives through this horror.
