Libya's 2011 uprising against Muammar Gaddafi ends with the dictator dead and the country fractured, and this film follows what happened to the nation's wealth in the years after. Shot on location across Libya, it mixes archival footage, reenactments, and interviews to trace how decades of Gaddafi-era mismanagement left the country's assets exposed, and how Western governments and companies moved in during the chaos of civil war. The film keeps returning to the toll of the fighting itself, citing the roughly 30,000 Libyans killed in the conflict, and treats the financial story and the human one as inseparable. Rather than a straight political history, it argues for a specific claim: that outside powers profited from Libya's collapse while the country itself was left to rebuild without the resources it had before the revolution. The reenactments carry the war scenes; the interviews carry the argument about who benefited and who paid for it.
