This was a fantastic documentary. They don't teach this stuff in American schools. Our History classes are filled with information from the biased perspectives of TPTB. Our country celebrates Columbus Day for goodness sake. This shows an honest and real picture of what revolution looks like. This movie is inspiring.

These clown american presidents being parts of secret societies, carry out these atrocities in order to keep other nations down.....using the CIA to carry out these things, the government is evil!!

This is a movie whose time has come. Democracy must be re-introduced in the United States. We experimented with it, but tried to institute it next to racism, so it failed. Now, we must try it again, this time without the corporate competition-out-of-control and without the racism. Now, a little less fashionable greed and grabbing the goodies from each other and a little more democratic humanitarianism and cooperative sharing together in a new true Democracy, Please! Let's take back our idea.

wow some fake ass constitutional article printed on the back of some shitty bag of third world rice = true democracy amazing! lolz

[nameherejony]

Seriously, are you like ten or something? Clearly it's forwarded as a representation of the educating of peoples rights (obviously it's not significant by itself) and the genuine participation in politics. The latter being encouraged by the government through educational means, as demonstrated in this instance, while the movie juxtaposes this with the previous disregard of the poor.

Yep dross is an appropriate name for you

[TJnomadi]

How arrogant are you..your American obviously??

Even though the movie point out real problems in our society, in general, is a twisted version of reality. I am going to refer myself to the situation in Chile, which I assume, most people don't know the reality. People only has the perception created by the sensationalist media around the world, and international human rights groups founded by communists and marxists.

In the case of Chile, people always mention a democratic government elected by the people, that was overthrown by the military.

Less public participation ===> Greater chance of herd mentality

[seanowar]

Democracy means NOTHING if the majority decide/vote to sell their collective souls to the devil. In that case, I sure as hell don't want the majority deciding for me. Isn't that interesting?

[PersianPaladin]

Tyranny of the minority ===> Tyranny of the majority.

I actually got choked up when 100,000's of people rose up to rescue Chavas after the US funded coup, inspiring people power!

[umalim]

Venezuela is great real ex of democracy

[integer22]

what a great idea to have your rights printed on the back of packets of rice! that is surely how a truly decent democracy could be founded. as if that could ever happen in the US or the UK...

Thank you for posting.

Courageous investigative journalists like John Pilger help keep the doublespeak in check.

Many thanks for posting. Reporters like Pilger are few and far between so it's important videos like this are made available.

John Pilger is such a great documentary maker. He makes me feel like a hood has been taken off my head after many years. Suddenly I see again.
