THE LORD OF WAR AND TODAY'S ANALOGY

This movie explores a consequence little known about the end of the Cold War: the enormous quantity of weapons that suddenly remained available for selling them to the developing countries (especially of Africa). This fact, although it lead to many violence and dead, it became a very profitable business for the well developed countries such as The United States, China or the European Union, and people began looking for excuses so they could feel relieved for the many damage they were causing to poor societies when they got involved in the weapons business.

The story shows an admirable level of analysis and make us think about the truth, the freedom and the justice involved in today’s real conflicts in which the personal welfare is above the collective welfare and thus, life is not respected and the value of human integrity is sold as if it was one more weapon in the saharian country…

 In Colombia we sadly count with many illegal organizations that, even if they were fighting for justice in the beginning, they lost their objectives along the way and today, blinded by money and power, they built a whole network of illicit activities in which vulnerable people is recruited because they receive promises of a better life, and then, when they realize that promises are not real, it is too late to leave such a cruel, unscrupulous, and persuasive monster of violence and greed that takes the lifes of many innocents in its desperate efforts for success.
