War On Democracy - Hugo Chavez - Part 2

Following ITV's showing of 'The War on Democracy' last August, more than 10,000 viewers contacted this website to ask about DVD distribution of the film.

'The War on Democracy' was released on DVD in Britain, the US and Australia in January and February 2008. Distribution throughout the US is through Bullfrog, which has carried many of Pilger's collected films.

'The War on Democracy' features the music of the great Chilean balladeer Victor Jara and the legendary American soul singer Sam Cooke (pictured right).

John Pilger describes Cooke's 'A Change Is Gonna Come' as "one of the finest, most lyrical pieces of black music ever written and performed. I was in the southern United States when it was released. It was the time of the civil-rights movement, and Cooke's song spoke to and for all people struggling to be free. The same is true of the ballads of the Jara, whose songs celebrated the popular democracy of Salvador Allende before Pinochet and the CIA extinguished it."

This is what happens when you listen to those idiot illeterate xenophobes who bash hispanic immigrants & demand that they speak enliglish when they themselves would never have the capacity to learn anything let alone another lanaguage.

@venezuelan04 to educate and mentor them so people form the poor class can become doctors too, and poorer people can have acess to them.

Venezuela became the new Cuba. Chavez is the new Castro.

Is not enough to give free things to people, you need to create jobs to make people free

@jamesDT2007 well, the side that says Chavez is the devil in one way or another is present in every private media channel every single day of the week, 365 days of the year. Maybe thats good for "all points of view"?

"Man can find meaning in life, short and perilous as it is, only through devoting himself to society.

The economic anarchy of capitalist society as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evil." (Albert Einstein, 1949)
