SHADOW WORLD reveals the shocking realities of the global arms trade – the only business that counts its profits in billions and its losses in human lives. The film exposes how the international trade in weapons – with the complicity of governments and investigative and prosecution bodies – fosters almost 40% of all corruption in global trade, determines economic and foreign policy, undermines democracy and creates widespread suffering. The film unravels how the arms trade operate in a parallel legal universe of impunity and how weapons of war are turned against citizens of liberal democracies and decreases security for us all.
