The Gardener, the Buddhist & the Spy
Norway, United Kingdom, Germany2025documentary95'Documentary Competition
Tycoons producing carcinogenic asbestos with impunity, the milieu of activists fighting the global web of illicit connections and a man who was a double or perhaps even a triple agent - here is a gripping investigative documentary whose protagonist constantly eludes us. For the filmmakers, it is also about their personal dilemmas related to the limited trust in the protagonist and the great responsibility entailed by their search for the truth. The eponymous spy with many faces becomes a symbol of ethical ambiguity and the manipulation of facts.
