The war on democracy

written & presented by John Pilger; produced & directed by Chris Martin

Film from John Pilger which suggests that, far from bringing democracy to the world as it claims, the US is doing its best to stifle its progress, particularly in Latin America (especially Chile, Bolivia & Venezuela). Talking exclusively to American government officials, including agents who reveal for the first time on film how the CIA ran its war in Latin America in the 1980s, Pilger argues that true popular democracy is more likely to be found among the poorest in Latin America, whose movements are often ignored in the West. Includes interview with Hugo Chavez, President of Venezuela
