Leftwing firebrand John Pilger writes, directs and presents this incendiary shockdoc about the USA’s meddling in Latin America. Beginning in today’s Venezuela – where President Chávez is using oil wealth to fund a socialist agenda – Pilger charts how the supposed Land of the Free has undermined and occasionally overthrown democratically elected governments in its “backyard”. The evidence startles: since 1945 US foreign policy has supported torture, tyrants and even genocide in over 50 countries. Pilger’s not exactly unbiased, while belligerent talking-head interviews sometimes feel like Jeremy Paxman with ’roid rage.
