The Fourth World War takes viewers where the mainstream media cannot go. Shot on the frontlines of struggles spanning five continents, The Fourth World War is the untold human story of men and women who resist being annihilated in the current global conflict. While American airwaves are crowded with talk of a new world war, narrated by generals and filmed from the noses of bombs, the human face of war is rarely seen. The Fourth World War weaves together the images and voices of the war on the ground, from the front lines of struggles in Mexico, Argentina, South Africa, Palestine, Korea, 'the North' from Seattle to Genoa, and the 'War on Terror' in New York and Iraq.
The product of over two years of filming, The Fourth World War is a new kind of film for a new world. The intensity and immediacy of its images are beyond anything the mainstream media can shoot and the intimacy and passion of its stories are beyond anything it can feel. Directed and produced by the award winning New York-based Big Noise Films, and narrated by Tony Award winner Suheir Hammad and Singer Michael Franti of Spearhead, it is a radical story of hope and human connection in the face of a war that shatters and divides.
The immediacy and intensity of this footage does not come without its risks, however. Over the course of production Rowley and Soohen were clubbed and pepper-sprayed and their cameras were smashed in Genoa, Washington D.C., Geneva, and Quebec. They have been arrested in Italy, Baghdad, Israel, Geneva, and South Africa (where Soohen was quickly un-arrested by activists). Perhaps the most dramatic story from the film's production came in May 2002, when Jacqueline Soohen was one of a group of ten activists who broke the 180-day Israeli siege on the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, racing past the tanks and sniper towers with food and a video camera. She was the only camera inside the church and filmed dozens of hours of video while snipers pinned them down, using .50 caliber rounds and infrared scopes to shoot through doors. After two weeks inside the church, living off of lemon leaves and lamp oil, she was arrested by Israeli soldiers and imprisoned on a hunger strike for 14 more days. Her footage was seized by the Israeli Army who sold parts of it to an Israeli producer working for the BBC.
Directors Rick Rowley and Jacquie Soohen are available to speak with the film.

Don't fall for all the Iran nonsense. It reeks of C.I.A. Jackals. Achmedinejad even stated the riots and protesting are the actions of the west/C.I.A. All foreign journalists have been kicked out of the Country....thank god. We don't need that propaganda machine fueling the zombies world wide for a change in power in Iran. Achmedinejad is a true leader, and one in a few that won't put up with NWO corruption.
Partially funded by THE ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION. Yayyy!! Champions of the Little Guy!! Who work to promote "smart globalization". Hope they aren't trying to imply that people should go out and riot or anything. (The NWO would LOVE that.)
although the film speaks truth, it is also a way to make themselves appear innocent of this agenda by documenting it as though they weren't supportive of it.
and the jerome foundation. both are pro NWO and this film was meant to incite people to revolution to take steps w/ pre-emptive strikes so they can justify "retaliation". don't play into their hands.
Hah! I obviously wont play into their hands. I had just watched this movie on google, thought it was pretty good, and by sheer chance I got to the end credits and BAM! NWO bullshit.
I'll just have to disregard what i watched, i guess. its sad groups like Democracy Now are now, in a way involved with such slime... or maybe they always have been?

Well, they forgot to fund enough for subtitles of the movie. Not everyone is multilingual, you know.
Achmedinejad gets assassinated, or Iran will be invaded before years end.
