- Synopsis:
From the highly acclaimed directors of 'Gunner Palace' and 'The Prisoner Or: How I Planned to Kill Tony Blair' comes this astounding, audacious portrait of Fidelis Cloer, self-confessed war profiteer. In a career spanning two decades of global turmoil, he has supplied kings, presidents and the odd dictator or two with the finest luxury armoured vehicles that money can buy. In his world, where security is a commodity that can be bought and sold, violence is to the bottom line as rain is to umbrella sales. Always with an eye on growth opportunities, Fidelis found the "Perfect War" when the US invaded Iraq: it wasn't about selling a dozen cars, or even a hundred - it was a thousand-car war where security would become the ultimate product. Riding along as he drives from Syria through Iraq days after the fall of Baghdad, filmmakers Petra Epperlein and Michael Tucker capture the eccentric wit and wisdom of Cloer as he makes house calls in a war zone and allows potential clients to open fire on his own car in order to make a sale. Spanning several years of escalating conflict - and product development - 'Bulletproof Salesman' might be the most unlikely story of war, or a car salesman, ever captured on film. - Actors:
