An unparalleled benchmark
in documentary filmmaking.
An amazing soundtrack.
Powerful imagery.

every word poiniently and poetically
weaving an intricate tapestry of our modern global ache.
Western citizens, hear her clarity in objective voice;
be confounded by it's compelling incisiveness.
These 64 minutes will rattle your cage....
"The term "anti-American"
is usually used by the American establishment
to discredit and, not falsely -
but shall we say inaccurately - define its critics.
Once someone is branded anti-American,
the chances are that he or she will be judged
before they are heard,
and the argument will be lost
in the welter of bruised national pride." ..<br>
"To call someone "anti-American",
indeed to be anti-American,
(or for that matter, anti-Indian or anti-Timbuktuan)
is not just racist, it's a failure of the imagination.
An inability to see the world in terms
other than those
the establishment has set out for you." - Arundhati Roy
