Stacey Dooley: Face to Face with the Arms Dealers

In this documentary, Stacey Dooley meets a family involved in arms dealing in the USA, revealing their operations that supply high-grade weapons to over 100 countries. The film provides insight into the daily lives of the family, particularly focusing on the mother who sells a range of arms, from grenade launchers to sniper rifles, and her son who manufactures thousands of bullets.

Dooley's journey takes her inside a gun factory, where she witnesses the production of advanced weapons, including those equipped with facial recognition technology. She engages in activities such as loading bullet cases with gunpowder and learning to operate a powerful sniper rifle. Throughout the film, she grapples with the moral implications of the arms trade while uncovering a unique code of honour among the dealers.

This documentary serves as a thought-provoking examination of a secretive industry that supplies not only armies and law enforcement but also private security and individuals. It challenges viewers to consider the ethical boundaries within the world of arms dealing and the potential consequences for society.
