has taken French rights to “Blix Not Bombs,” a documentary about former UN weapons inspector Hans Blix, who was given the task of looking for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, in the period running up to the U.S.-led invasion of the country 20 years ago.
In the film, Czech-Swedish filmmaker Greta Stocklassa interviews the Swedish diplomatic, now 94 years old, about what happened in the months leading up to war. He describes his meetings with George W. Bush and Tony Blair, his frustration when Colin Powell gave his pivotal speech in the UN Security Council, and his feeling of emptiness when the U.S. started the invasion, despite his reports that his team had found no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
In a statement, the director said: “Blix’s person embodies the clash between high politics, world-class events and peaceful days of old age, with the slow expectation of the imminent end. Combining the methods of comprehensive interview and observation of the situations from Blix’s personal life, we are painting a complex portrait of an aging diplomat and a man ready to leave this world.
