Synopsis
August 2010 - Inception of the Oslo Convention on Cluster Munitions. And yet, these inhumane weapons are sought like they always were. In non-signatory states like the USA, South Korea or Singapore, cluster bombs continue to be produced. And financial institutions in Germany and worldwide are investing in ‘Deadly Returns.’ A film about morality, business and politics. A research trip through Berlin, Amsterdam, The Hague, Brussels and Oslo provides insights in the lack of transparency of the financial markets and the ignorance of political and business decision-makers. Hardly a person among them can or is willing to track where fund deposits and insurance premiums end up invested. Hardly anyone is thinking about all the innocent victims of cluster bombs worldwide, including thousands of children. CONTACT: sigriddethloff@gmx.de
