If you're in the mood for a horror movie, this ought to do you.
The most outspoken and yet in some ways the calmest of the new documentaries opposing the Bush presidency.
Narrated by NAACP Chairman Julian Bond, the film's form is measured, but its message is incendiary.
Another effective civics lesson that, unfortunately, will probably never be seen by the people whose minds it seeks to change.
There's really nothing new here, though, and lacking the drama and humor of "Fahrenheit 9/11," it is even more likely to be preaching to the converted.
Goes beyond simple Bush-bashing to paint a horrifying portrait of organized U.S. imperialist expansion and public deception stretching back to the early Reagan era.
Crude, grating.
