Blue Orchids

The film presents a dual narrative featuring Chris Hedges, a former New York Times war correspondent, and Riccardo Privitera, an arms dealer. Their interviews reveal the stark differences in their views on the arms trade, with Hedges focusing on accountability and transparency, while Privitera embodies the industry's self-interest.

Through these contrasting viewpoints, Blue Orchids uncovers the emotional and moral turmoil surrounding the arms trade. The film highlights how both men, despite their opposing roles, share a common understanding of the trauma inflicted by war and the influence of greed on both personal and political levels. This exploration provides a disturbing yet necessary examination of the consequences of the arms industry.
