For anyone who has a conscience

The documentaries produced by Arte television are highly valued and appreciated for the themes they depict and the flawless, objective way they are portrayed.

"Armes, trafic et raison d'État" or in German "Waffenhandel - Ein Bombengeschäft" confirm this again and is among the best sources you will find about the arms deals all over the globe and the very hard fight the ngo's go through to restrain/prohibit the delivery of arms to countries with military dictatorships.

The documentary takes you to several different war zones, weapon conventions etc. all the interviews and revealing footage complete this enlightening piece of journalism it's interesting that they even mentioned the movie "lord of war" and showed several different arms dealers on which nicolas cage's character was based on. it's just sad that "lord of war" has about 85.000 votes and almost 400 reviews while this documentary is awaiting its five votes and just earned the first comment..

again: i highly recommend this documentary to anyone who cares about anything at all p.s.: you will find the German version on Youtube under its German title
