John Pilger's documentary explores the historic and current relationship of Washington with countries such as Venezuela, Bolivia and Chile. Pilger claims that the film "...tells a universal story... analyzing and revealing, through vivid testimony, the story of great power behind its venerable myths. It allows us to understand the true nature of the so-called "war on terror". According to Pilger, the films message is that the greed and power of empire is not invincible and that people power is always the "seed beneath the snow".

Pilger interviews several ex-CIA agents who purportedly took part in secret campaigns against democratic countries and who he claims are profiting from the war in Iraq. He investigates the School of the Americas in the U.S. state of Georgia, where General Pinochets torture squads were reportedly trained along with tyrants and death-squad leaders in Haiti, El Salvador, Brazil and Argentina.

  • The question is: why hasn't the world gotten together and put an end to the American empire of maniacal, genocidal killers?

    The list of US presidents reads like a list of who's who in a long line of mass murderers.

  • The "evil" Hugo Chavez has more than cut in half poverty in Venezuela, and cut the most grotesque forms of poverty by over 70%.

    Attacking the opulence of the few is no theft, but a supreme act of justice - as no amount of labor could ever justify the existence of millionaires, let alone billionaires. Such wealth is only acquired through the theft of the surplus value produced by laborers.
