Canada likes to think of itself as the world's peacekeeper, and director Amy Miller sets out to test that self-image against the country's actual record in arms manufacturing, military alliances, and foreign aid. Sociologist Sherene Razack and law professor Michael Mandel argue that national pride functions as a kind of blindfold, letting Canadians look past their government's role funding weapons programs and supplying electronic components used in warplanes. An animated sequence walks through NATO's history in simple, deliberately cartoonish style, then the film turns to Canada's part in the 1999 bombing of Yugoslavia, including interviews with plaintiff Slobodanka Borojevich, who sued the Canadian government over the strikes. Later sections follow Export Development Canada and CIDA into aid projects that critics like Karyn Keenan and Patricia Adams say cause environmental and social harm in the countries they're meant to help. Archival war footage, including wounded civilians and destroyed homes, is cut against the tidy animation to make the contrast plain: a peacekeeping brand built on an arms and aid business.
