2015 Weapons

The Small Arms Survey 2015 examines the role of weapons and armed violence in humanity's appropriation of the earth's wildlife and mineral riches - in Africa, where the poaching of elephants and rhinos is becoming increasingly militarised, and near resource extraction sites around the world.

This documentary tells the story of the past, present, and future of chemical weapons with unprecedented access to weapons inspectors, government officials, and the personal testimony of those who have experienced this horror. The film explains how chemical weapons were developed more than 100 years ago, how hard they are to control, how dangerous they are, and how international efforts to control them are ushering a new era of co-operation to counter terrorist plots.
