- Based on the book The Shadow World, this feature length documentary reveals the shocking realities of the multi-billion dollar global arms trade, through whistleblowers, investigators, prosecutors, and military insiders.
Director: Johan Grimonprez - Zábava
This is truly pulling back the curtains on our world leaders, how morally bankrupt they are and how money is the root of all evil. One of the best documentaries i've seen and i've seen quite a few as of late.
Any recommendations for good documentaries
These very expensive missiles have a best before use by date.

I have watched many documentaries over the past 20 years reporting on this subject. This one has, by far, been the most impactful. A brilliant piece of journalism in a world that so desperately is in need of it.
Blair "can I say just for the record that what he said about JP Morgan and Iraq is completely and utterly untrue." Translation "god I'm scared, dont let my masters think I exposed them".
Whover designed that clip of the two roller skaters on that platform with the Chicago skyline behind, and the elequently spoken story of the "kissing ban" in Sotocaba, deserves an artistic award. As do the makers of this sublime documentary.
I kept wondering why the background looked familiar. As a Chicagoan, I didn't connect that it was Chicago. Thanks for pointing that out.
one of the best documentaries about the weaponry lobbies Ive watched in my whole life. congrats to everyone involved in the production of this. I wish that everyone would open his eyes to understand whats going on.
Hear! Hear!
Oh, everyone knows what's going on. We've all known for a very long time. Now I just asked this question to another person and I want to know what you think of my view on this. I'll use the USA as the example because I don't know if it's your country but it is mine. The military is an insurance policy and no matter what you always want the best insurance policy. You never want to have to use it but just incase you have to, you want the best because unfortunately there will always be mad men who want to start wars for the traditional reasons and not the ones in this documentary. That's all anyone should have a military for in this day and age. And just so you know where I stand as far as respect for are military, I do respect our military and veterans who were sent into one country "Afghanistan" for a legitimate reason even though I believe our government let it happen and I also respect our veterans who were sent into Iraq for a totally illegitimate reason where 21 great friends of mine wer kia. It's strange because all the friends I had who joined the military, I didn't lose any in Afghanistan. They came back with problems but none of them were kia. We should've never have been in Iraq at all, Saddam was a tyrant but there were never any Iraqi terrorists I know of and it appeared he learned his lesson in 1991. Same thing with Libya. No terrorists came out of Libya since the 80's when Gaddafi learned his lesson and during the war on terror from interviews I've seen with former military and CIA he was actually preventing terrorist organizations from spreading or even existing. As soon as they popped up in Libya he'd neutralize them. I saw a great interview with him where he predicted that one day we'd take him out and "then they will realize what a mistake they made when the gates fly open and everyone I was preventing from invading their countries invade their countries". That may have been a worse move than Iraq. So it will probably never change but do you agree with me that our military should only be an insurance policy and only used if we're attacked?
@@edreynolds8721Countries do need a defence force. This conversation is going on in 🇩🇪 at the moment. They use the word „Streitkräfte“ directly translated as fighting forces. I saw an argument that we should be talking about „Verteidigungskräfte“ - defence force - but it probably shows what our leaders have in mind.
Military is ok. It’s the weapons which are the problem. As someone in the video mentioned, they have a sell-by date and politicians need an excuse to buy new ones and of course, those kick backs and other sources of enrichment beckon. These are wishes which arms c0rp0r@tions and their l0bbyists are just too happy to fulfill. A few hundred thousand deaths aren’t a problem for them. With the 🇺🇦 fiasco, 🇩🇪 has managed to get rid of all its old inventory and create more debt to the tune of 100 billion Euros to re-equip at a time when the country should be taking measures to reduce spending.
Sorry, I have digressed somewhat.
@@freebird7017 don't apologize, your right and with military being an insurance plan for any country, they should have found a way to make weapons with no expiration date. We did that with nukes. All they have to do with nukes is swap out cores and if they're in icbm's they simply swap out the war heads or cores and swap out the engines. At this point the same can be done with basically any munitions except bullets. But even if they're just stored properly, bullets have a very long shelf life. Now if they simply use different materials that are more stable in the bullets, they'll last for even longer and why don't they simply recycle old munitions casings? They'll still make billions and we'll always be ready incase we have to use our insurance policy.
Thank you.
Brilliant presentation of the truth. It should be shown in the schools globally. Thank you for posting!!
Thank you for this.
We all THINK corruption exists at the core of America, but films like this allow us to KNOW.
Best I've seen in my life, the true truth
But who is pulling the strings of the US
@@christinavance1128A small handful of neo cons who think they are invincible and exceptional.
You want to know how to find out who? Follow the MONEY. That and narcissistic personalities. We work, and pay 1/3 of our income to our government in taxes. It's OUR money that's killing thousands of people. I feel bad, because I helped pay for this. We have leverage then, because they depend on us for funds. Without our taxes, they couldn't do anything. Now it all makes sense why we pay so must in taxes and we're 35 TRILLION DOLLAR in debt. We are in debt, not them. We even pay thier salaries. They get very wealthy using our taxes, people die, and it's business as usual? This is the absolute definition of INSANITY. 😔😪
@@christinavance1128 you don't know which richest families fund both sides of conflict? It's recorded historical fact.
This is one hell'uva of a masterpiece, the best I have ever seen, and I am 80 years old. This should be shown to all over the world in school s and Universities and religious institutions period. These people are definitely sick devils.
Thankyou dear brave hearts for the making of this documentary.
Not really brave when it’s so easy to scare people into another war 🤷♂️
The politicians and the sociopaths that pull their strings are pure evil.
And then they have documentaries composed... almost as if gloating.
That's part of it, isn't it? Our 'witnessing' is the way they get our authorization to proceed, undeterred. They show us, tell us all about it...we were forewarned. The New World Order was a long list of atrocities committed in the name of National Security and Progress to maintain the status quo. All of us are just pawns on the board.
Pure evil ?. It very easy to condem and be moral but try be a leader of america you not better than them you condem...
I don't care most people crawling for power are evil. Almost all pure evil.
😢
Very educational, very sad that it will only get worse. Thank you for your excellent eye-opening presentation. God help us
Thanks to all of the people who created this journalistic masterpiece!
A presentation of truth...... doesn't matter what nation, what political party, or who the man is...... corrupt men deal with corrupt men.......and there is NO HONOR AMONG ANY OF THEM
You mean corruption has no gender
Thank you for that. Great comment.Payoffs are common in the political game. You scratch my back ill scratch yours. One of the most glaring examples is when France wanted favorable mineral rights from the Central African Republic. Mostly Uranium. The French engineered the coronation of president Bokassa who became emperor in a unbelievably expensive ceremony complete with a crown dripping with diamonds made by Parisian jeweler Claude Bertrand and an escort of French troops and fighter jets.
Wow they found the shoe guy… I always wondered how that happened.. secret service was mad late, he got 2 good throws in.
😂
"behind every great fortune is a great crime"

This is why peace talks are prevented from happening from the very start of conflicts. There's plenty of money to be made by arming one side and the other.
Genocide is ignored and devastated countries present an opportunity for both defense and building contracts in which politicians have huge shares in.
We all know this, they know this, but yet nothing changes. Politicians have too much power.
And arms dealers and arms manufacturers. Hey, I'm not against having arms and any country having a great military because no matter what, there's going to be bad people in the world not counting the ones we mentioned that just want to start wars which is why you want the best military, I respect our military but I've always looked at the military as an insurance policy and that's all it should be. You want the Cadillac of insurance policies just incase but just like actual insurance policies you never want to use it. You get what I'm saying?
It is why Cheney Rumsfeld llet 9/11 to happen like Netanyahu allowed October 7, 2023 for bankers and war profits Both had specific warnings and deliberately ignored them but what is so disgusting is tbesesuits Co. Mitti g genocide to get profits.
@@UKindness4 🤦🏼♂️🤡

Great documentary, but the fact that it isn't taken down just proves that y'all are barely scratching the surface.
Exactly what I was thinking. It's just that they throw us scraps to keep us informed but no so much as we learn the real I.D OF THOSE THAT REALLY ARE THE ONES AT TOP WHEN WATCHING DOCS KEEP IN MIND THE HATS YES HATS OF THOSE IT WILL GIVE YOU A HINT TO ITS ORIGINS WHAT NATION SEEMS TO BE MENTIONED BUT NEVER DO WE GO AFTER ITS CRAZY TO THINK OF THISE THEY OFFER UP AND THOSE THAT SEEM TO SKIRT.FOUR LETTER NATION WE HAVE BEEN ALL AROUND BUT NEVER ATTACK
Exactly right but we do hear who I believe is the head of the snake.
We hear it's name over and over again but we never ever stick them all around them but never them. It's a theory we are fighting one that wants to enslave the world make no mistakes they will as long as this ideology exists
Qp
Im going to watch this on the big screen tonight. Best way to watch the longer documentaries 👌
This documentary has really opened my eyes to a lot and it’s made me be deeply ashamed to be American and it pains me to say that but it turns out that we are the evil country when I thought we were something else entirely! I thought America helped and saved people but come to find out that we are the country that other people need saving from is heartbreaking and makes me angry as hell at the evil people that are doing all this horrible shit!!!🤬🤬
How are we ever going to put a stop to this greed, what do we have to do or see to bring us all together to say no more.
That's the Billion dollar question..or should I say Trillion?
It’s very simple the soldiers know right from wrong. They should refuse to go fight any dirty war for these evil politicians.
Sadly fhe soldiers are usually young men, too scared to go against their peer group, fed romanticised image of war through films and video games, not taught to think for themselves.
this is a very well done documentary. thank you for sharing.
Simply outstanding. The bestest documentary I have seen till date. And yes am 60 yrs old. Superb.
Everyone of us just have to feed love and the truthful and just acts not the fear and the conflicts ❤ Thanks to all who is serving the peace and love!
Thanks for sharing this important documentary
This is a summary of our current situation 1:19:00 very sad, very tragic and I'm disheartened.

Great documentary that leaves you speechless and angry.
this is the best documentary i've ever watched on youtube.

Wow the shoe guy from Bush is still alive...thought he was dead already...
This is is a Brilliant piece of investigative journalism, a brilliant compilation of facts, well done!
That was so very sad and desolate, I don't know what will happen to all of us but I know that no matter what happens I will die with equal amounts of love and sorrow in my heart and soul 😢
What an intro. Goosebumps galore.❤
"It matters not what puppet is placed upon the throne, he who controls the money supply, controls the Empire"
I don't know if you'll ever read this but talk about money supply well you should read about Pol Pot who was prime minister of Cambodia. He tried to outlaw money ! That political experiment didn't work. It was a miserable failure. He murdered thousands in the process and there was famine and food hoarding.
The children playing suicide bomber is actually scary, and a sad indictment of what we have done to these people!
Fantastic documentary, I hope people wake up in any small way they can, refuse to pay your bills, quit work and find a way to sustain yourself outside of state use, protest against the war mongers, refuse to change until the system changes. How are people with small children in England supposed to live in a safe just world? Our country is run by businessmen and war criminals. Even to this day, nothing has changed & it never will until we all realise how little they care about us all as a general population.
It's getting worse living on this political planet. I am pleased that I won't be around on this planet to see how bad it will get.
But your children will.

In a larger scheme of things, it's difficult to deny evil genius of the system.

Thank you 👍 keep up the good work ❤
I'm so glad I came across this documentary film. I wish there was something we could do to spread love everywhere in the world. I'm also said that my country south African had contributed in the killings on many people all over the world and here at home 😢😢
Humble thanks in folded hands who made this best documentary
Cruelty to some is pragmatism to others
Both say they are right
In east we call this both compliment each other
Beyond duality
We appreciate your massive effort
Stay blessed
I watched this 😢😢😢, and I dearly wept and I feel so sad knowing there's nothing we can do about it all that blood

Ordinary people usually get along. Politicians create wars through their politics.
As long as ordinary people are not informed properly, they will be wars.
@@SevtapThurston governments will never inform people because they have people and corporations that make huge amounts of money on wars. They don’t care about ordinary people. They just pretend to care and they claim to spread democracy.

Gotta give it to Bush on those quick reflexes 54:33 😂😂

Oh Dear Archie..😊😊.. You are communicative, persuasive and You have Your own opinion on every topic..🔊🧐..this only proves Your eloquence..😇😉👍
Trowing the shoes to Bush was a good job and a great message to alll Americans. That changed a lot the paradigm in US voters.
Man, we are sooo screwed. 🙃😪😪🙏
Wow!! Informative!!! Great details and Documentary!
Best documentary ever!
Слишком много глупых людей, ведомых, агрессивных, стремящихся к власти ради денег и удовольствия от командования. Зло торжествует! Зло хитрит, зло обманывает, лжет, вооружа..., объединяется легко.
What a great and sobering point:
“ Evil unites easily”…. hard to hear but must be thought about.
I disagree its not evil. People don't care about doing right or wrong, people care about money and power. Accordingly, they'll do anything to achieve those 2. Only the few true deranged lunatics choose to do something solely because it's evil. However, people will do evil things if they can earn money and power for it.
True evil is always disguised. One's responsibility to dig, find out and then choose to what one is serving. The conscience is the guide to lit the path.

And a great many more who can be manipulated into going along
Why hasn't anyone tried to bribe me.... Even 50cents?.... maybe because I'm just a nobody.....Thank God for that😂😂😂
I'm speechless ...
This has been going on for so long. Nothing has been done about it.
Because it’s very easy to manipulate the population
Brilliant, if not also sickening. What frightens me most is that I 'thought' that it was the weapons manufacturers who were the creators of the constant wars around the globe, but to actually 'see' it ... along with the depth of the corruption, is what truly makes me quite literally sick in my stomach. This was absolutely Brilliant! I watch a lot of the Chris Hedges shows online, but now I know how he manages to have such a great depth of knowledge ... & wisdom to each of his interviews. It's hard to believe that so many lives are lost, and so much suffering is created, purely so that some powerful people can become even wealthier than they already are. This isn't only sickening, but it's frightening, because I can see no way this will ever end.
Fascinating. A Saudi Arabian prince who has read Ralph Ellison's book "Invisible Man." There are probably many members of both houses of the United States Congress who have never read Ralph Ellison. It speaks what those politicians see and choose not to see.
Ralph Ellison
March 1, 1913 - April 16, 1994
Most of arab royalty are educated in the West, just like,Kim Jong un of north Korea. Most world leaders go to same schools and universities 😂😂😂😂
Thank you for letting the truth about our politicians be known. I never have totally trusted a politician, but now I will never truly them or believe them. Just assume they are lying whenever they speak.
Why don’t all the ordinary people just wake up and just not show up to war? I despair at the way people think (or don’t think).
Its far too late. Less than 0.0001% of the world's population is aware.
It's not that simple sadly, though I totally agree with you there. You pay a price for contientious (however you spell it lol) objection if your called up by your government. Prison, not being able to get a job etc. And of course they use the news to trick you into thinking "I need to fight to save my country and way of life". Your spot on though, if everyone on both sides would see through the bullshit and refuse it would be dead in the water. At least as far as infantry.
I will never understand the men that agree to go to these pointless wars in this day and age. They have internet, the truth is in plain sight - normal people everywhere in the world want to live their lives, nobody wants war. Arms deals are celebrated in media. What else do they need to stop being sheep?
Bear with it, nothing of any apparently related subject matter is said for the first six and a half minutes, but once they eventually get on with it the watch is well worth your time.
The business of mass murder
Войну придумали вожды, когда солдаты умирают идут из золото дожды!😮😢
Humans have been at war since the beginning of time
I see a lot of comments accusing elements of people of being greedy. You ever notice, it’s always the other guy that’s greedy? “Im not greedy. It’s the other group that’s greedy.” All the accusations of greed are laughable.
follow the money! the need for greed! the grabbing hands grab all they can!

from Kenya🇰🇪..I hope this evil don't get to Africa..Africa unite.
It has been there for a long time. In one form or another!
There are over 550 million firearms in worldwide circulation. That's one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is: How do we arm the other eleven?
While private gun-runners continue to thrive, the world's biggest arms suppliers are the U.S., U.K., Russia, France, and China. They are also the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council.
Lord of War
Show this documentary to young boys instead of Pearl Harbour and other war-glorifying crap.
Why shouldn’t Pearl Harbor be shown?
I had a feeling, but this proves my theory 😢. We're DOOMED WITH THESE EVIL HUMANS
Sadly the cycle will continue as long as we are all lead by vicious psychopaths who only care for money and power and not the destruction and evil inflicted 😢
Name me a year in human history where there was not conflict, war and corruption ?
Greednes and fear are not only humans.
I see that at dogs to.
WHY? Why enforce suffering upon someone else? Both in short term. and long term, it is suffering. For You, for Me, We will suffer. Do not heed the voice of evil. Corrupted West, do not count Me upon your People.
They thought they were helping us why, it's stuck in marriage divorce and taxes though

Nice job 👍
