Lord of War

While you watch the movie, think about the points raised and how they relate to international politics.  For your exercise, explain three ways in which the movie addresses international political issues, particularly topics we've covered, including the Cold War, the role of the United Nations, characteristics of the state, global north versus global south, and so on. 

Write a paragraph for each of the three issues you think matter.  Explain why each is raised in the movie and why you think the issue reflects what happens in the world.  If you are critical of the point the movie is making, explain that as well.  Be sure to follow the paper guidelines in your syllabus.

If the video sputters, just pause it to let the download get a bit ahead.
