John Pilger looks behind the political rhetoric and discovers the world of international arms dealing. Ever since many of Britains export industries have collapsed, the arms industry appears relatively untouched. Government assistance, and an unnatural amount of research & development (R&D) expenditure, are being allocated to the selling of killing machines to some of the World's most ruthless dictatorships. Won a Bronze Apple in the category of 'Domestic and International Concerns', National Educational Film & Video Festival, Oakland, California, 1995; Certificate of Honourable Mention in the 'International Relations' category, The Chris Awards (Columbus International Film Festival), Worthington, Ohio, 1995. |
