The Ambassador

Documentary


 

A journalist attains fakes diplomacy to infiltrate the Central African Republic and smuggle diamonds.

"The Ambassador" is a captivating documentary, daring to go where no one has gone before. The mission of the director is frankly quite mad, spending many thousands of dollars to sneak into the powerful (and political) circles of an African country rich in resources, and a history of rebellion and corruption. It's a journey of constant tension, and despite being confusing at times, remains a remarkable account, especially with the limited hidden footage and audio at hand. There are no rules.
