Watch The War on Democracy Full Movie

Story: Venezuela, Guatemala, Cuba, Chile, Salvador, Bolivia: peoples struggle for democracy versus US imperialism in Latin America since the 1950s, backing coups and supporting dictatorships.

Award winning journalist John Pilger examines the role of Washington in Americas manipulation of Latin American politics during the last 50 years leading up to the struggle by ordinary people to free themselves from poverty and racism. Since the mid 19th Century Latin America has been the backyard of the US, a collection of mostly vassal states whose compliant and often brutal regimes have reinforced the invisibility of their majority peoples. The film reveals similar CIA policies to be continuing in Iraq, Iran and Lebanon. The rise of Venezuelas Hugo Chavez despite ongoing Washington backed efforts to unseat him in spite of his overwhelming mass popularity, is democratic in a way that we have forgotten or abandoned in the west. True Democracy being a solid 80% voter turnout in support of Chavez in over 6 elections.
