Shadow World reveals the shocking realities of the global arms trade, the only business that counts its profits in billions and its losses in human lives. Based on The Shadow World: Inside the Global Arms Trade, the acclaimed book by Andrew Feinstein- former ANC MP and whistleblower on the South African arms deal -the film explores how governments, their militaries and intelligence agencies, defense contractors, arms dealers and agents are inextricably intertwined with the international trade in weapons, and how that trade fosters corruption, determines economic and foreign policies, undermines democracies and creates human suffering.

The film offers a frank insight into who really runs the world and may explain what happened to freedom and democracy in South Africa in light of the South African arms deal that was never investigated
