The global arms industry, currently thought to be worth something in the region of $1 trillion a year, is the ultimate secret business. Arms worth billions of pounds regularly evade UN embargos, ending up in countries from Africa to the Middle East.
Film-makers David André and Paul Moreira track the journey of military hardware from Western capital cities to the gloomy hills of central Africa in a breathtaking investigation into this under-reported and secretive industry.
