Description
War Inc.
What if war was no longer fought for ideology or security, but for profit, branding and shareholder value?
With public appetite for another foreign conflict at breaking point, the President of the United States makes an unthinkable decision: outsource the war.
A shadowy corporate consortium known only as The Partnership offers a solution too efficient, too profitable and too media-savvy to refuse. They will fund the mission. In return, they control the broadcast rights.
On the oil-rich island of Gutan, a stranded unit of US Marines becomes part of a live global spectacle. Sponsorship deals dictate strategy. Uniforms carry logos. Casualties compete with advertising breaks. The battlefield becomes content.
As boardroom logic collides with military reality, the line between defence and entertainment begins to disappear. Power is negotiated in contracts. Victory is measured in engagement. And somewhere behind it all, someone is always watching the numbers.
War Inc. is a dark political thriller about corporate greed, media spectacle and the commodification of conflict, a near-future in which the question is: if war can be monetised, why wouldn't it be?
