Based on the best-seller Illicit, by Moises Naim, this film tracks the manufacture and sale of goods ranging from fake purses and DVDs to counterfeit pharmaceuticals that can have a devastating impact on human beings, showing how the most innocuous trades are connected in a global epidemic generating $3 trillion per year and unimagined human suffering.
