Apparently everything in the world can buy. Hundreds of films was done to illustrate this opinion or argue with her. Is Mads Brugger - Danish journalist and documentary filmmaker can say something new in the subject of integrity and life in the twenty-first century in the post colonial world? As most so and the effect of his work is frightening. Three words: Africa, von winning diamonds and diplomats. His image Brugger not only absolutely exposes von winning corruption von winning schemes, but it also says something about contemporary journalism and documentary work.
The inspiration for the film was the announcement found on the Internet. The broker offered in the sale of diplomatic documents that authorize von winning the holder to travel the world in a privileged way. Particularly interesting place for such a trip can be Africa. Only the "diplomat" has a chance to take out of her suitcase diamonds. Sounds like a joke or a cheap thriller? Buying the status of a diplomat and smuggling precious stones. Mads decided to check it out and register with hidden cameras his life as a diplomat.
The journalist took up activities the Central African Republic. It was enough to suddenly hundreds of thousands of euros to get from a European intermediary status of a diplomat. Maybe a few hundred thousand euros is the amount prohibitive for many people, but you have to remember that wages seem to be in relation to such a small investment. But the matter von winning is not as simple as it may seem. If you get on the black continent von winning and exported from the diamond would be an easy task with this option would use many money-hungry crooks. Documentary shows that mainly earn the intermediaries, and later diamond dealers - the original inhabitants of the republic. Filmmaker lead story in true spy style. Everything starts with preparation - secret meetings in Europe, then travel incognito to Africa. In the background Mads mentions political background. But nothing can prepare the viewer for what is happening in the rest of the film. The fact that in Africa there is corruption there is still a mystery - even if they say the reports of many European consulting firms, but the scale reached by this practice is appalling. Journalist cleverly von winning creates his image, as he says in interviews using the theory of mirror neurons. Arriving in the republic von winning bears haughtily, von winning eccentric, sending of any information which will attract people interested in easy money. Or maybe you attract von winning more people who know that they are dealing with "an idiot", which can be easily stretch? The roles in this document can very quickly turn around and although initially von winning I had the impression that it is the poor people of the Republic will be subjected von winning to a journalist, it turns out that the opposite is true. But it is not fun, because von winning participation von winning in the przebierance can cost lives, what convinces von winning the hero of the Ambassador of the example of the former von winning mercenary Foreign von winning Legion, and the Minister of Security of the Republic in one person. Visually, despite the use of hidden cameras - most of the material was filmed with a camera Canon EOS Movie function, but despite the use of the camera image is of good quality. It perfectly fits the mood of the story saturated with paranoia and fear. They are a daily part of life in a world where the only rule is that you do not trust anyone.
In an interview with Catherine Surniak-Domanska Mads Bruger said: "I've done a movie on the principle: buy fake passport and see what happens. He left me a picture of the terminal stage of corruption. Frightening world where corruption climbs to each institution and infects every interpersonal relationship. In which we all live in paranoia and panic. " You can not ignore the fact that Mads himself this atmosphere winds. Is the journalist has the right to such behavior? Does it work even in the context of professional ethics, or have them over? Although in the course von winning of the session, I felt that he happens von winning to cross the border to get closer, it still reminds me now that the biggest scandals did not have a chance to see the light of day, if not find someone who will have the courage to say what what not to say - even if this knowledge is widespread. Only that Mads is not an informant - he is the driving force of these measures, although only for a moment. Fortunately, there is like a colleague - Michael Moore propaganda. I love documentary films, but that gives you a chance to take an interesting discussion about the problems of the modern world. Mads comply with this obligation very well. It is a pity that the discussion, which may cause the film does not come out beyond academic discourse - as if Africa is still hope? You can see this by watching "Ambassador".
