It is amazing how fiction begins to resemble the world we live in. It is no myth how the IMF, WTO and WB lent millions of dollars to Latin American Countries and the African countries to governments who did not invest this money in development but rather in free trade and multinational companies, creating further debt, further poverty and more complications. Past movies such as the War.inc, The Lord of War, Syriana and some others tackle directly the trading of U.S. and Russian weapons to zones in conflict, such as the middle east, Latin American countries rebel groups and other African rebel militant groups. Interestingly enough, these “fictional films” portray what documentary movies such as Darwin’s Nightmare, Uganda Rising, Occupation 101, Zeitgeist Addendum, BLUE GOLD: The World Water wars and the Hot zone denounce from the American Government, the global Media and the International Banking system.

Movies like the International cost about 13.5 Million Dollars, they denounce the involvement of a “fictional bank” called the IBBC international banks in controlling of the worlds’ arm supplies. Although the IBBC is not entirely fictional  it seems ironic that a movie which had the budget to recreate the Guggenheim museum in a warehouse, denouncing corruption from the international banking system, while highlighting the key aspect of banking “DEBT”, happens to be simply a big movie hit and nothing more.
