Description

[Machine Translation] Where did the $20 billion go? The worst political scandal in the history of the United Nations is here! The Wall Street Journal's "Book of the Year" is an authentic political suspense film based on Michael Soussan's bestselling novel, which is based on his own experiences. --In October 2002, 24-year-old American Michael ( Theo James ) is appointed as a long-sought special assistant to the UN Under-Secretary-General in charge of the UN's Oil-for-Food Program, an oil and food exchange program. The appointment was made after Iraq invaded Kuwait. Due to the economic sanctions imposed by the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, poverty among the Iraqi people had become a serious national political problem. This program is a humanitarian aid plan to help that Iraqi civilian population. While preventing Hussein from developing weapons of mass destruction, under the control of the United Nations, Iraqi oil, which is considered to be of good quality, is sold, converted into food, and distributed to the Iraqi people. Michael discovers that Hussein himself is actually involved in this seemingly idealistic policy, and that the UN and other corporations and bureaucracies around the world are involved in this project. Soon, the project develops into a massive corruption case of unprecedented scale in the world.

バグダッド・スキャンダル / 洋画

200億ドルの巨額マネーはどこへ消えた? 国連史上最悪の政治スキャンダルがこれだ! ウォール・ストリート・ジャーナル誌が選ぶ"ブック・オブ・ザ・イヤー"自身の体験をもとに綴ったマイケル・スーサンのベストセラー小説を映画化した迫真のポリティカル・サスペンス。 ――2002年10月。24歳のアメリカ人青年マイケル (テオ・ジェームズ)は、念願だった国連事務次長の特別補佐官に任命され、国連が主導する石油・食料交換プログラム (オイル・フォー・フード・プログラム)を担当することになった。イラクがクウェートに侵攻したことによる経済制裁の影響で、イラク国民の貧困は国政的にも深刻な問題となっていた。このプログラムはそのイラクの民間人を救う人道支援計画。フセインの大量破壊兵器開発を防ぎつつ、国連の管理の元、質が良いとされるイラクの石油を販売し、食料に変えてイラクの国民に配給する。一見理想的な政策に見えるこのプロジェクトに実はフセイン自身が関与し、国連を中心とした世界各国の企業や官僚機構が関わっていることをマイケルは知る。やがて世界に例を見ない巨額の汚職事件に発展していくのであった。
