FilmThe Gardener, the Buddhist & the Spy
Norway, United Kingdom, Germany2025documentary95'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.

The eponymous spy with many faces becomes a symbol of ethical ambiguity and the manipulation of facts.
