This documentary examines an area of geopolitics that is usually kept below the radar of most Canadians, and Americans. In Central, and South American countries we're led to believe that much of social unrest, attempted coups, and attached episodes of violence is nothing more than the result of internal struggles (corrupt leaders, out-of-control drug cartels, the wealthy staying wealthy by keeping the poor in check, and the rebels doing what they naturally do best- which is to rebel).

But as this documentary unfolds the history of the latter half of the twentieth century, nothing could be further from the truth.

The gist of the film is based on the incredible  historical evidence (facts), and outright murder of women and children sanctioned, and even carried out by U.S. administration involvement with Central, and South American countries for the profit of American corporations. ( Remember I'm only reporting this. Check out the his films if you're unsure)

These atrocities are carried out in the name of 'democracy'. Instead of allowing true democratic societies to develop, the White House over many administrations was instrumental in creating coup d'etats in which they deposed of rightfully, democratically elected leaders, and instead set up political puppets that would become dictators including the notorious, and psychopathic General Pinochet.

These leaders then became the loyal puppets of the White House (as did Saddam Hussein until he revolted), and large U.S. Corporations, especially those with insider U.S. government connections. Among today's generations of innocents living in these countries south of our borders, many that survive, get to enjoy living either in abject poverty, or are very psychologically disillusioned.

The overwhelming moral of this film is: "Anything and Everything, including human life can be, and will be sacrificed for the personal wealth and fortunes of others!" But more importantly, tell others of this film, and where we truly are as an 'enlightened society' if we are ever to have a peace in our world!
