Keenie Meenie Services – the most powerful mercenary company you’ve never heard of – was involved in war crimes in Sri Lanka for which its shadowy directors have never been held accountable.
I worked with Yardstick Films to create posters for their documentary film, Keenie Meenie, which exposes the extent of these war crimes. Their investigation uncovers secret diplomatic cables and insiders who reveal the British government’s covert support for Keenie Meenie – and the continuing cover-up.
Like its mysterious name, Keenie Meenie Services escaped definition and to this day has evaded sanctions. Now explosive new evidence - only recently declassified - exposes the extent of these war crimes, and the British government's tacit support for the company's operations. Including testimonies from SAS veterans, spy chiefs and diplomats, we hear from key figures battle-hardened by the Troubles in Northern Ireland and the Iranian Embassy siege. Investigative journalist Phil Miller asks, who were these mercenaries: heroes, terrorists, freedom fighters or war criminals? Keenie Meenie provides long overdue evidence on the crimes of the people who make a killing from killing.
I created three posters that reference different events from the film.
