    “Backstabbing for Beginners” (2018) is a movie about the massive corruption scandal related to the U.N’s Food for Oil program in Iraq. Based on a real story, it is an excellent thriller, despite some overacting. 🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    I watched a movie yesterday, 'Backstabbing For Beginners.' It's about massive corruption in the UN 'oil for food' program in Iraq. It reminded me that the world is controlled by people and entities that only see profit in any endeavor. I am more frightened today than yesterday.
