"Inside Iraq's Kill Zone"
Would you leave friends and family to voluntarily work in a war zone? Each and every day international security contractors in Iraq run a gauntlet of hidden dangers as they carry out critical missions to safeguard the Iraqi reconstruction effort and protect V.I.P.s.
The conflict in Iraq has led to an enormous growth in the security business. Private contractors are hired to perform seemingly mundane but definitely dangerous tasks - jobs that were once the exclusive responsibility of the military. But insurgents don't distinguish between civilian contractors and coalition forces. Armed to the teeth the contractors move through the Iraqi roads, often appearing like characters from the movie The Road Warrior. Critics believe contractors simply add to the already chaotic situation in Iraq, a country on the verge of civil war. In Iraq private security contractors are constantly on alert, aware of their grim reality where every mission could be their last.
"Soldiers for hire"
They have walked countless battlefields throughout history. They faced Rome's vaunted legions, and sometimes battled alongside Caesar's troops. They played a key role in the American Revolution. And they famously fought in the many struggles that peppered Africa's bloody emergence from colonial rule. They are SOLDIERS FOR HIRE. This feature-length special probes the strange world of the mercenary from ancient times until today. Discover the role they played in many of history's greatest battles, and examine the controversy over the exploding use of private "security forces" in Iraq. With private companies billing upwards of $100 billion a year to provide armed agents to corporate and government clients, this is the golden age of the hired gun.
"Guns for hire. Afghanistan"
Documentary about the secretive world of private military companies.
Included is a unique interview in Kabul’s Polecharki jail with the infamous American prisoner Jack Idema – an ex Marine Special Forces soldier who turned rouge.
Jack was hunting for Bin Laden in the hope of winning the 2 million dollars U.S. award offered for Bin Laden’s head by the Bush Administration.
Eventually, Afghan authorities arrested Idema on charges of kidnapping people and interrogating them in a private prison.
With their existing armies overstretched, Britain and America rely heavily on mercenary forces. In Guns For Hire: Afghanistan, former war reporter Sam Kiley investigates the shadowy world of the modern soldier of fortune.
"Private Armies"
More than 20 000 contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan. Most of them former soldiers of elite units, the
Private Military Armies are now the first contingent behind the US Forces. Patrick Forestier, after months
of investigation, has been able to meet the most important companies: we have filmed the Black Water
training Camp in North Caroline, and talked to Joseph Schmitz, former number two of the pentagon and
now chief of the operabons for the Company. We'll try to understand how Mrs Helvenston, Scott's
mother dead in Falludja, lynched by the crowd, is fighting and attacking in justice Black Water.
From Kabul to London, and to Washington, this documentary leads us to the heart of these new armies, more and more powerful, and present on all kind of conflicts around the world.
