The Caviar Connection (La Diplomatie du caviar)

synopsis

Europe proclaims its values loud and clear. Freedom of speech, democratic elections, prohibition of torture. This two-part documentary reveals, however, that when business and money are at stake, European countries can turn into dictatorships, leading to serious human rights violations. Worse, it shows how corruption has crept into the heart of European institutions to the benefit of autocratic regimes. It tells the universal story of a fight for freedom and democracy by vulnerable citizens against the power of money and totalitarian regimes.
