January 2004. An Iraqi daily published a list of 270 personalities and companies around the world having benefited from the generous gifts of Saddam Hussein’s regime during the UN’s Oil for Food program, launched in 1996 to relieve the Iraqi population’s suffering from the embargo. This notorious list ignited a scandal that smeared the UN, political personalities and some 2,800 companies around the world. This film reviews the investigation conducted by the director, Denis Poncet. From Dubai and Geneva to New York, it takes to pieces this incredible system of corruption and tries to find those responsible for what the press at the time called the greatest scandal of all time. A scandal that the whole world quickly forgot.
