KURZSYNOPSIS
Illegale Holzschlägerung ist ein globales Milliardengeschäft. Alexander von Bismarck, Nachfahre des Eisernen Kanzlers und Kopf der Environmental Investigation Agency in Washington, spürt weltweit erfolgreich den Machenschaften der Holzmafia nach – mit gefärbten Haaren, versteckter Kamera und Tonaufnahmegeräten.
Doch es geht ihm nicht vorrangig um die Aufdeckung skandalöser Zustände, sondern vor allem um eine Änderung im Bewusstsein von Politik und Zivilgesellschaft, letztlich um einen neuen Verhaltenskodex für die Weltwirtschaft,
aber auch für Konsument*innen. Ein Umweltthriller der besonderen Art.
