The Ambassador

Synopsis

Danish documentarist/satirist/provocateur Mads Brügger decides to expose the high-stakes game of political and economic corruption in Africa. How to go about this?

By carrying a hidden camera as he buys a diplomatic assignment to the Central African Republic and sets up a match factory staffed by Pygmies to serve as a front for a diamond-smuggling operation. A gonzo exposé of neo-colonialism that is bound to stir up controversy.
