An Al Jazeera undercover operative spends four months posing as a buyer inside the surveillance industry's grey market, where regulations meant to stop spyware from reaching dictators and criminals are routinely ignored. Hidden cameras record the operative negotiating with Italian security firms over fictitious deals, testing whether they will supply highly invasive spyware, capable of intercepting the electronic communications of an entire town, for use in Iran and other sanctioned, volatile regions. One company agrees to sell its technology without asking who the end-user will be. The footage shows how these firms court clients, sidestep export controls, and structure multi-million dollar contracts to obscure where the equipment is actually headed. The film also traces the involvement of government officials in enabling these transactions, laying out how mass surveillance tools built to fight crime or terrorism end up in the hands of authoritarian regimes and other buyers with no restrictions on how they are used.
