It Is Nowhere Written That The American Empire Goes On Forever.
Grand Jury Prize winner at the 2005 Sundance FiIm Festival, Why We Fight is an unflinching Iook at the anatomy of American war-making. Granted unparalleled Pentagon access, the film Iaunches a nonpartisan inquiry into the forces - poIitical, economic, and ideoIogical - that drive America to fight.
Inspired by President Dwight Eisenhower's 1961 Farewell Address in which he warned Americans about the dangers of the "military-industrial compIex," filmmaker Jarecki weaves unforgettable stories of everyday Americans touched by war with commentary by a "who's who" of military and Washington insiders.
Featuring John McCain, Gore Vidal, Richard Perle and others, Why We Fight expIores a half-century of U.S. foreign policy from WorId War ll to the lraq War, revealing how, as Eisenhower warned, poIiticaI and corporate interests have become aIarmingIy entangIed in the business of war. On a deeper leveI, what emerges is a portrait of a nation in transition - drifting dangerously far from her founding principIes toward a more imperiaI and uncertain future. |
