Quotes:

[first lines]
Narrator: The United States of America: rich, diverse, well-fed, proud, free. The United States of America: poor, hungry, scared, oppressed. There are those who say the United States is an empire, a dictatorship possessing fascistic elements. There are others who insist it's a democracy...

Followed by Internationally Speaking (2005)

Excellent film - check it out!

I was once told by a friend that, "America is NOT a free country. If you want freedom you should move to Europe!"

Did I miss something? Isn't this America? Isn't this the country where I have the freedom to do and say whatever I want..., you know that whole Bill of Rights thing?

Since 9/11 our freedom has been slowly eroding and films like this bring that subject to the forefront. It's been more than 5 months since I first saw this film and to this day I'm a changed person because of it. This was my first introduction to Howard Zinn and Michael Parenti, 2 individuals I've come to respect.

Powerful film! Tell a friend.
