The War on Democracy (2006)
THE WAR ON DEMOCRACY explores Washington's relationship with countries such as Venezuela, Bolivia and Chile. [93mins]
In his second inauguration address, President Bush pledged to "bring democracy to the world". In his speech he mentioned the words 'democracy' and 'liberty' 21 times. Most of the world, it is fair to say, will have recoiled, many in fear. Bush's speech finally stripped the noble concept of democracy of its true meaning: government for, by and of the people.
This film explores the theme of disenchantment with democracy, concentrating on those parts of the world where people have struggled with blood, sweat and tears to plant democracy, only to see it brutally crushed. Archive footage demonstrates how democracy has been wiped out in country after country in Latin America since the 1950s. Contains real images of human suffering.
