The War on Democracy background

The War on Democracy

Latin America's tumultuous history since the 1950s has been marked by a complex struggle for democracy, with the US frequently backing coups and dictatorships in countries such as Venezuela, Guatemala, Cuba, Chile, El Salvador, and Bolivia.

Award-winning journalist John Pilger explores the impact of Washington's manipulation on Latin American politics over the last 50 years, highlighting the struggles of ordinary people to overcome poverty and racism. The film also examines similar CIA policies in Iraq, Iran, and Lebanon, and the rise of Hugo Chavez's democratic movement in Venezuela, which has maintained overwhelming mass popularity despite ongoing US-backed efforts to unseat him.
