The war in Congo has claimed more than six million lives over the last twenty years. The population is suffering, yet the perpetrators remain at large. Many see the conflict as one of globalisation's crucial economic distribution battles as the country holds major deposits of many high-tech raw materials. The filmmaker gathers victims, perpetrators, observers and analysts for a unique civil tribunal, creating a meticulous, unvarnished portrait of the largest and bloodiest economic war in human history.
