An astounding, audacious portrait of Fidelis Cloer, self-confessed war profiteer.
In a career spanning two decades of global turmoil, he has supplied kings,
presidents and the odd dictator or two with the finest luxury armoured vehicles
that money can buy. In his world, where security is a commodity that can
be bought and sold, violence is to the bottom line as rain is to umbrella
sales. Always with an eye on growth opportunities, Fidelis found the "Perfect
War" when the US invaded Iraq: it wasn't about selling a dozen cars, or
even a hundred - it was a thousand car war where security would become the
ultimate product. Riding along as he drives from Syria through Iraq days
after the fall of Baghdad, filmmakers Petra Epperlein and Michael Tucker
capture the eccentric wit and wisdom of Cloer as he makes house calls in
a war zone and allows potential clients to open fire on his own car in order
to make a sale. Spanning several years of escalating conflict - and product
development - this might be the most unlikely story of war, or a car salesman,
ever captured on film.
