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.

On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.
