John Pilger and David Munro turn their reporting toward Britain's arms trade, tracing why a government preoccupied with public spending pours nearly half of its research and development budget into weapons that most citizens will never see or use. They interview officials, industry figures, and critics to map how arms manufacturers, defense contractors, and Whitehall have become dependent on each other, and how that dependency survives contact with customers who are dictatorships and abusive regimes rather than allies. The film follows the money past the press releases, into the export licenses and secretive contracts that keep factories running when domestic demand cannot. Pilger and Munro press their subjects on what happens when commercial survival requires selling to governments accused of torture and repression, and on what gets sacrificed, in funding and in oversight, to keep an industry propped up that produces machines built for war rather than for markets. The reporting stays grounded in specific deals and figures rather than general outrage.
