The Ambassador
Denmark | 2011 | 93 min | Danish/English/French/Sango with English subtitles
Director: Mads Brügger
In this unbelievable act of gonzo journalism, Sundance Grand Prize winner Mads Brügger (The Red Chapel, MFF 2010) sneaks hidden cameras into the Central African Republic’s underworld of political corruption. By adopting the persona of an international businessman—complete with power suit and sunglasses—he tracks diamond smugglers through a dangerous maze of murders and bribery schemes, jabbing even the scariest characters with his absurdly funny barbs.
