This is the real story of José Bustani. A man of integrity that had to face some of the greatest challenges, while defending what he decided to stand for. The truth and the hope for a world free from chemical weapons. A world free from the threat of continuous warfare.

Brazilian ambassador José Bustani, the first director of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), tried to avoid the destruction of Iraq, but was forced out under pressure from the USA. Today, similar situations are repeating themselves in the multilateral organizations.

In this award winning production we have the chance to follow his journey closely. We are offered a detailed first person view into the challenges he had to face, while trying to the best of his ability, to perform according to the requirements of his position and the needs of our world.

Directed by José Joffily
