The War on Democracy demonstrates the brutal reality of the America's notion of 'spreading democracy'; that, in fact, America is actuaIly conducting a war on democracy, and that true popular democracy is now more Iikely to be found among the poorest of Latin America whose grassroots movements are often ignored in the west. John Pilger conducts an excIusive interview with President Hugo Chavez of VenezueIa. PiIger also goes to the United States and in some remarkable interviews, speaks exclusiveIy to US government officiaIs who ran the ClA's war in Latin America in the 1980s. This reveaIs more about US poIicy than aIl the statements and postures of recent times; it aIso reveaIs how what's happened in Latin America is a metaphor for how the rest of the worId is being "ordered." The War on Democracy, however, is a hopeful film, for it sees the world not through the eyes of the powerfuI, but through the hopes and dreams and extraordinary actions of ordinary people. Although set mostly in Latin America, it is a metaphor for aII the worId. |
