Luz em Ação’s film premieres Jan 23, investigating links between the Middle East and Latin American organized crime. Watch on YouTube.
Criminal routes gain a new perspective in the documentary “Invisible Pact” (Pacto Invisível). Produced by the Brazilian company Luz em Ação, the film investigates connections between ideological radicalization in the Middle East and Latin American drug trafficking. The movie premieres on January 23 at 6 PM on the production company’s YouTube channel.
The narrative follows a striking true story. It begins with a young man’s radicalization in Lebanon and crosses borders until reaching South America. The plot reveals how distant geopolitical conflicts directly impact regional security.
Funding and organized crime
The documentary details a strategic shift within extremist organizations. International sanctions have led groups like Hezbollah to seek new income sources. Consequently, they established connections with drug cartels in Latin America to maintain their power and influence.
Venezuela appears as a key piece in this mechanism. The film presents expert analyses pointing to the country as a strategic hub for these operations. Venezuelan institutional fragility facilitates the consolidation of political and logistical ties with international terrorism.
Borders and investigation
The plot culminates at the Triple Frontier, between Brazil and Paraguay. In this complex surveillance scenario, the protagonist experiences a decisive episode. The work discusses how the absence of the State creates a fertile environment for transnational criminal networks.
Directed by Marcelo Enns, the film adopts a sober tone. It avoids sensationalism and focuses on the social consequences of these alliances. To ensure depth, experts like Dr. Emanuele Ottolenghi, Joseph Humire, and Phil Gursky were interviewed.
