by one of my favourite polit­ical journalists/​foreign cor­res­pond­ents, john pilger. this is a doc­u­mentary on amer­ican empire, and the dis­con­nect between preaching freedom and then over­throwing democratically-​elected gov­ern­ments throughout the world. focus is on central and latin america, though there’s a uni­ver­sality to the story.

Set both in Latin America and the United States, the film explores the his­toric and cur­rent rela­tion­ship of Wash­ington with coun­tries such as Venezuela, Bolivia and Chile. Pilger claims that the film “…tells a uni­versal story… ana­lysing and revealing, through vivid testi­mony, the story of great power behind its ven­er­able myths. It allows us to under­stand the true nature of the so-​called “war on terror”. According to Pilger, the film’s mes­sage is that the greed and power of empire is not invin­cible and that people power is always the “seed beneath the snow”.’ — wiki­pedia
