I was watching a short film that BMW commissioned a few years ago. It was a 2016 continuation of their "BMW Films" short films featuring Clive Owen as "The Driver" from around 2002. Back then they feature a group of star directors including John Woo and Guy Ritchie, and with "actors" including James Brown.
However, this one was called "The Hire" (directed by Neill Blomkamp) and the premise was about a company that illegally performed cloning experiments, with someone who is assumed to be a cloned human being being delivered to a customer. However, the beginning makes it clear that they're doing something highly illegal with an FBI special operations team and police closing in on them to shut down their operations.

In it they have a head of security willing to do all sorts of illegal acts acting like a James Bond villain's lead henchmen. He explodes a door with an FBI SWAT team on the other side. He engages in a shootout with police. I get ideological extremists doing something like that, but it doesn't seem like the head of security for a private company would go through those lengths. That they would have tons of military style equipment including Humvees and automatic weapons also seems a bit odd for a biotech company. I get that it's fiction, but what's the payoff for someone who at the very least is likely to be captured and sent to a federal supermax prison for a life sentence?
I guess it's not a documentary.
