A journalistic tour-de-force, Johan Grimonprez’s explosive “Shadow World”, based on Andrew Feinstein’s book of the same title, exposes the global arms trade as a system defined by corruption. Blending archival footage and expert interviews, it traces connections between disparate players – linking the Saudi royal family, Margaret Thatcher’s son, Tony Blair, the Obama administration, and the Salvadoran Contras – and shows how war and profit shape the modern world.
* Recommended for ages 12 and over.
