Casino Royale begins with Mr. White introducing weapons dealers to what is supposed to be Joseph Kony, infamous murderer leader of the LRA in Uganda. This exchange shows children soldiers in camp surrounded by guns and munitions. To understand how poignant this scene is, you have to understand what is going on in places like Uganda and with people like Joseph Kony. Kony alone is accused of abducting 67,000 children to be used as soldiers and sex slaves. The history of this arms trade goes all the way back to the 7th century in the Arab slave trade routes. Join myself and Thomas Felix Creighton as we talk about modern day arms trafficking and the emergence of "floating armories". This episode will make you appreciate Casino Royale even more than you ever did before.
