From Brexit to Syria, Venezuela to Ukraine, every shock of the last decade has a hidden cause: price. In Price Wars, filmmaker Rupert Russell embarks on a global journey to uncover how swings in food, oil, and housing costs — driven by traders in New York and London — have sparked uprisings, toppled governments, and plunged millions into hunger and chaos. Filmed on the frontlines of today’s most turbulent regions, this explosive documentary exposes the unseen power of financial markets to fuel war, migration, and instability. Price Wars is a gripping exposé of how the battle for profit has become a battle for the future of the world. Broadcast across Europe on ARTE, SVT, and ARD.
