For generations, we have been told that war is a necessary evil, fought for freedom and peace. But what if it's a multi-billion dollar business? This documentary looks at the hidden industry that thrives on global conflict, following the money trail from the front lines to the corporate boardrooms. It examines how a powerful network of politicians, lobbyists, and defense contractors known as the military-industrial complex has engineered a system that makes perpetual war highly profitable. Through the accounts of investigative journalists and whistleblowers, we get an inside look at massive corruption, from secret arms deals to the secret funding of covert operations. From the profits made during World War I to the bribes that fueled the Iran-Contra scandal and the BAE affair, this is the story of how conflict became a commodity and why it continues to shape our world today.
