Profit and Nothing But!
It is as a documentary filmmaker Raoul Peck has created the biggest waves internationally, and with films like Profit and Nothing But! it is easy to understand why. This is as much a personal testimony as a recounting of hard facts, as Peck puts it: a political testament. This is the film for those who shake their head in resignation every time anyone uses words like "objectivity" and "truth" about documentaries. The truth is that this is a very well-phrased challenge to one of world society’s biggest conundrums: how to maintain free markets with an easy flow of goods while securing a fair distribution of the profit?
