Last week we had fist of our special movie watching session in the course of this module. We’ve seen the Informant!, a movie about uncovering and investigation of the international lysine price-fixing cartel in the United States. One just could not have a more appropriate movie made for this class, in terms of touching upon a whole range if relevant legal issues.
If you missed this session: a DVD with the Informant! is available in our University’s Library on a one night loan.
Interestingly, some of the original recordings made by the FBI in that criminal investigation have been made publicly available and can be found online (for example, see here). We’ve seen them in class as well. They are a real eye-opener as to the nature of the cartel meetings, its agenda and the attitudes of the individuals involved. Enjoy!
