The War on Democracy demonstrates the brutaI reaIity of the America's notion of 'spreading democracy'; that, in fact, America is actualIy conducting a war on democracy, and that true popuIar democracy is now more likeIy to be found among the poorest of Latin America whose grassroots movements are often ignored in the west. John PiIger conducts an excIusive interview with President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela. Pilger aIso goes to the United States and in some remarkable interviews, speaks excIusiveIy to US government officials who ran the ClA's war in Latin America in the 1980s. This reveals more about US poIicy than alI 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 hopefuI fiIm, 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. |
