"Apology of an Economic Hitman" at the Vancouver Film Festival!
We are more than happy to announce that Apology of an Economic Hit Man has been selected to participate at the 27th Vancouver International Film Festival, which will take place from the 25th of September to the 16th of October, in Vancouver, Canada.
More than that, Apology of an Economic Hit Man is one of the 14 titles nominated to compete in Vancouver Nonfiction Features award which will be announced on the closing day of the festival on Oct. 10.
The festival organisers gave it the following exciting review:
“…Award-winning journalist and filmmaker Stelios Koul fashions Perkins’ controversial best-seller into a provocative and fascinating film noir documentary, complete with smoky backroom liaisons, corruption, blackmail and murder. Tearful testimony from the family of Panama’s President Omar Torrijos, who died in a plane ‘accident’ in 1981 after refusing to sell out his country hammers home the point. Koul brings the story bang up to date. Why was $1.4 billion --in cash-- transported to Northern Iraq three days before the Iraq Government came to power? How did $9 billion US dollars go missing in the first 18 months of the Iraq Occupation...? This is an infuriating film in the best sense--guaranteed to fuel argument and debate.“
The documentary will be screened at Empire Granville 7-Theatre 6, on these times and dates:
-Friday, September 26 - 7:15pm
-Thursday, October 9 - 7:15 pm

Enthusiastic reviews!
Following its participation at the Locarno International Film Festival , Italian and US newspapers published lengthy, enthusiastic reviews on Apology of an Economic Hit Man :
"Thanks to the excellent use of the reconstruction sequences the director managed to transform the film into a political thriller that always keeps high the audiences".
Coriere de la Ticino
“…its content is explosive. Everything that we suspected about the United States might just be true. And it makes your legs shake”
Il Sole 24 Ore
“Here are all the reasons why people hate the ‘yankees'…everything has been said before, it's true. But coming directly from a first hand testimony, it becomes thrilling”.
Il Manifesto
"…the film drops some intriguing facts. And its stinging portrait of the crowd in Quito bristling at American policy is arresting."
