John Pilger :: The War on Democracy (2007)

I watched this last night and was impressed. If you want a short synopsis of american involvement in South America download this! Pilger uncompromisingly reveals the horrendous practices including torture, murder, and kidnapping, that were supported by americans through their tax dollars and the CIA. If you've lived and worked in america in the last fifty years you owe it to yourself to watch this as you've undoubtedly contributed to these horrors. This film is also important because it shows how little has changed throughout american history. Watching this helps the viewer connect historic atrocities to current rationalizations which will surely go down in history as atrocities as well. While america may have ideals to be proud of, it's actions are no reason to be patriotic. Far from it, this citizen is thoroughly embarrassed.
