MOST DANGEROUS ARMS DEALER CONFESSES EVERYTHING

Cinemavixion Review

Filmmaker Ben Zand ventures into the heart of Beirut, a city ravaged by a profound economic crisis, to profile Abu Ali, a powerful illegal arms dealer. Abu Ali thrives amidst the pervasive instability, allegedly operating under political patronage and supplying weaponry to a desperate populace. The film highlights the grim reality faced by ordinary citizens, exemplified by a gold shop owner driven to acquire an AK-47 for self-preservation, as well as to criminal elements, thereby escalating the pervasive danger. This documentary offers a stark look at how conflict and economic collapse create a fertile ground for illicit trade, impacting lives at every level.
