The War on Democracy
Description
The War on Democracy demonstrates the brutal reality of 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. Pilger also goes to the United States and, in some remarkable interviews, speaks exclusively to U.S. government officials who ran the CIA's war in Latin America in the 1980s. This reveals more about U.S. policy than all 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 world is being "ordered."
