Winner of Sundance's Grand Jury Prize, "Why We Fight" (2006) examines the kaleidoscope of reasons behind our country's increasingly aggressive and imperialistic military strategy since the end of WWII. The documentary dissects the consequences of the U.S.'s military-industrial complex and how in every decade since WWII, the American public was misled so that the government could wage a war and fuel the military-industrial economy maintaining the U.S.'s global political dominance. Less a liberal propaganda piece than a well-researched documentary with interviews and support from both sides of the subject, "Why We Fight" is a must see for anyone who believes in being an informed citizen of the world we live in during these growing uncertain times. Featuring John McCain, Gore Vidal, Richard Perle, and many others.

Expert Review:
In his farewell address, President Eisenhower warned of the danger to peace posed by the growing "military industrial complex." His words went unheeded, and thus came to pass, and Eugene Jarecki's film examines where we are over forty years later. What happens when war becomes good for business? The answer isn't pleasant.
