“This is a must see if you care at all about the social-political issues in the wider world. With characteristic aplomb and incisive reporting, director Shelley Saywell follows the small-arms trade around the world… It’s a deeply disturbing picture of the trade in guns and tells us how little is really known about the shadowy world in which arms dealers exist.” " - Globe and Mail

“For years Saywell has been crafting a series of often-brilliant documentaries on the precarious stare of human rights around the world. Here she tackles the illegal global arums trade and her documentary is chock full of insights….Saywell’s images are vivid and stark. She won an Emmy for her shattering documentary Crimes of Honour and she should win a second one for Devil’s Bargain, its that compelling.” — Jim Bawden, TV critic

“Many thanks for the extraordinary documentary you have produced. I am furthermore encouraged to pursue aggressively my work in attempting to eradicate the use of child soldiers as the primary weapon systems in over 30 conflicts in the world. Your attention to detail, intellectual rigor and objective presentation of the facts surrounding these weapons of mass destruction in the hands of children is a primary reference in our campaign.” - Lieutenant-General the Honourable Romeo A. Dallaire
