Description
------------------
John Pilger?s documentaries aren?t a place to find sensationalism, cheap tactics or irrelevancies. As The War On Democracy demonstrates, Pilger instead takes a deathly serious subject, and while his work isn?t bereft of politic leanings, presents his findings to his audience in a grown up, intelligent manner.

In The War On Democracy, he looks at the political tactics of America over the past decades, homing in on Latin America and the impact that ongoing strategic American political decisions have had. Throughout the course of the documentary, Pilger gets access to relevant subjects, and charts the backlash in Latin America too.

The subject matter of The War On Democracy is clearly emotive, and it?s inevitable perhaps that Pilger?s stance isn?t wholly impartial. His film, however, is very strong. Directed by Chris Martin, it?s an engrossing, studiously put-together picture, that can?t help but emote a reaction from those who sit through it. One or two of the interviewees, in particular, are all but certain to provoke.
