The War on Democracy demonstrates the brutal reality of the America's notion of 'spreading democracy'; that, in fact, America is actually conducting a war on democracy, and that true popular democracy is now more likely to be found among the poorest of Latin America whose grassroots movements are often ignored in the west. John Pilger conducts an exclusive interview with President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela. PiIger 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 aIl the statements and postures of recent times; it also reveals 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 worId not through the eyes of the powerful, but through the hopes and dreams and extraordinary actions of ordinary peopIe. Although set mostly in Latin America, it is a metaphor for all the worId. |
