John Pilger's documentary, The War on Democracy

Astonishing. That is one word to describe film-maker John Pilger's documentary masterpiece The War on Democracy. In this remarkable work, Pilger draws on historical, political and social evidence, to clearly illustrate the role of the US government, directly and indirectly, in over-throwing democratically elected Latin American governments, and effectively replacing them with pseudo-democracies, satisfactory only to elitist groups and the interests of the American state.
Without exerting his opinion on the viewer, Pilger cleverly weaves all strands of evidence to illustrate his contention and does so in a powerful way that emotively moves the viewer.
He highlights explicitly the power struggle between the elite who seek to dominate the government and control all affairs of state and the grass-roots who demand true democracy that serves the interests of the people as an entirety. Pilger also shows the effects of these pseudo-democracies and the lust for power which drives them, manifest in the suffering and death of people, particularly those who are vulnerable and those who refuse to bow before the powers that be.

The War on Democracy

serves as a testament not only to the mass corruption and web of deception propagated by the high cabal, but also to the power of the people and the enduring strength and resilience of the human spirit to overcome the dehumanising effects of deceit and greed.
