Shadow Company


	THE RULES OF WAR HAVE CHANGED. This year thousands of private soldiers will be deployed in conflicts worldwide. These individuals, known as private security contractors, are changing the face of modern warfare. But to those at home, their world and influence remains a mystery. Who are these security contractors ? What do they do ? Why do they do it ? Shadow Company, by Nick Bicanic and Jason Bourque, is the groundbreaking feature-length documentary that reveals the origins and destinations of these modern-day mercenaries.

	Hollywood Reporter - June 22nd, 2006 'Reaching both audiences may take some doing on the publicity side, but the potential exists for solid boxoffice in comparison to other current-events docs. Throughout the film manages to educate without being dry and to illustrate controversies without prejudice. For a subject that plays such a large part in America's foreign policy and is so little understood, "Shadow Company" is an excellent and engaging primer.' Review by John DeFore Link to full text or [download pdf] PopMatters - March 15th, 2006 'The charred and mutilated bodies of Blackwater private security contractors shown hanging from a bridge in Fallujah turned the spotlight on a group whose presence in Iraq had been previously unknown to a great many: mercenaries. Shadow Company, directed by Nick Bicanic and Jason Bourque, is a look into this, group of ex-soldiers and hired guns, who purposefully put themselves in harm's way. Not for the honorable clichÈs of God or country. But for lots and lots of good, old-fashioned cash.'
