Focus Years: 2006 | Country: Greece
Synopsis:
Who is Basil Zaharoff? The most powerful and cynical arms merchant of all times? The richest man on Earth in the early 20th century? A mysterious figure that hovered behind governments at the dawn of WWI? A character that tormented film directors such as Eisenstein or Orson Welles? Or was he simply a “Maker of Wars†that following the catastrophe of the Great War, was dubbed “The Merchant of Death� Probably some of all that. But Basil Zaharoff represents mainly an economic system that thinks of war as profitable, a system linking to this day the interests of dominant nations to the interests of arms industries. A film investigating the roots of the present arms trade at the beginning of the 20th century through the mysterious story of Sir Basil Zaharoff, the most powerful and cynical arms merchant of all time and the richest man on Earth in the early 20th century.
