The Notorious Mr. Bout

Known as the "Merchant of Death," Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout achieved international notoriety following his 2008 arrest for supplying weapons to terrorists. This riveting, often black-comic documentary shows two Viktor Bouts: the amiable, upbeat family man who viewed himself as an entrepreneur and the ruthless criminal mastermind who abetted murderers. Bout's own firsthand accounts and home video footage of his globe-trotting exploits reveal both the man and the myth. (bam.org)
