Why we Fight

Synopsis

Eugene Jarecki’s award winning documentary examining how business has shaped American foreign policy since the end of World War II, a dangerous collusion described by President Eisenhower as the military-industrial complex. It skillfully juxtaposes archival footage, statistics, and commentary from numerous politicians, military historians, soldiers, and Iraqi civilians to examine the consequences of the American war machine, both at home and abroad.
