“The Brussels Business” is a docu-thriller that enters the twilight zone of European democracy. An expedition into the world of the 15,000 lobbyists in Brussels, the PR conglomerates, think tanks and their all-encompassing networks of power and its close ties with political elites.

A conference related to the film, “EU in crisis: analysis, resistance and alternatives to Corporate Europe”, will take place May 5 and 6 at Maison des Associations Internationales, Brussels.
