The corrupt side of humanitarian efforts....
“Backstabbing for Beginners” is a drama based on the Oil-for-Food scandal that plagued the United Nations around the time of the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Ben Kingsley stars as Pasha, the U.N. undersecretary in charge of the Oil-for-Food program. When Danish-born Michael Soussan (Theo James) applies for his U.N. dream job, wanting to follow in the footsteps of his diplomat father, Pasha selects his application, sends him to Baghdad, and rapidly instructs him how to rely on expedience to get things done.<br /><br />Pasha’s U.N. rival is Christine Du Pre (Jacqueline Bisset), who is appalled by the program’s deep-rooted corruption. Pasha believes limited success is preferable to nothing when it comes to supplying medical and food supplies to the hardest-affected regions. Everybody has an agenda. The C.I.A. is searching for an excuse for President Bush to order an invasion. The Iraqis are adamantly opposed to international control. The oil profiteers want cheap crude they can re-sell on the open market. The big contract suppliers are not above selling expired medicines that they’re certain no one will check. And everyone, at every step of the process, is taking a cut. This leaves the Iraqi people, mostly the Kurds, starving and dying.<br /><br />The film is a cynical look at the efforts of humanitarianism to degenerate into greed, and an opportunity to profit at the misery of others. We witness events through the eyes of idealistic Michael and his equally idealistic translator (Belcim Bilgin), as director Per Fly explores the dark underside of diplomacy. In a way, the movie is a pessimis view of what on the surface are admirable efforts from outside agencies to better the lives of people in need. Beneath the news headlines are deception, self-serving officials, and the grabbing of quick bucks valued far more than doing unconditional good.<br />tic<br />The only bonus material on the R-rated Blu-ray release is a featurette detailing the actual facts behind “Backstabbing for Beginners.” A digital copy is enclosed.
