Never societies have consumed so much raw material in the early twenty-first century. Wheat, rice, sugar, soybean oil ... All these products are now objects of speculation. The emergence of major powers like China, India and Brazil has caused an explosion in demand. But this is not the only explanation for the surge in prices.

And most importantly, how these commodity markets deemed complex and opaque? For the first time, a documentary dismantles the mechanisms of this great world trade to economic issues, major political and food, and reveals the daily life of those who are the main players: traders themselves, the men and women who buy , transport, sell merchandise and speculate on changes in their prices.

Immortalized in the literary blockbusters of Homer and Virgil, it features some of the most famous faces in Greek legend, from Helen of Troy to Aphrodite and Achilles. Since the 19th-century discovery of the site of Troy in modern-day Turkey, historians have searched tirelessly for evidence of a real Trojan War, Troy's demise, and the truth behind this world famous myth.

Now, scientists explore how discoveries of charred bones and arrowheads point toward a violent showdown around 1200 BC, exposing the true scale of Troy's defenses and supplies, and investigate the real possibility that a Trojan Horse could have been used to trick Troy into defeat.
