The Arrangement - The Bill (Part 8/8)

Series Finale.

If this is about security ...why does it keep requiring more land? If it's about nuclear weapons ... why does the only undeclared nuclear power face no consequences?

If it's about terrorism ... why did a former Al-Qaeda commander get a presidential handshake? And if it's about religion ... whose God exactly keeps winning? Because it isn't the God of the people dying. It never was.

In this final episode of The Arrangement, a special 8-part series from Unusual Practice, we close the complete account and then we say the honest thing that most closes with poetry instead of truth.

This series was made because enough people asked for clarity in a landscape of noise. It was an honour to try. Follow Unusual Practice wherever you listen.
