Why We Fight
It Is Nowhere Written That The American Empire Goes On Forever
Directed by Eugene Jarecki
Produced by Charlotte Street Films, ARTE
A rigorous, unflinching documentary polemic that interrogates American military dominance and its corrosive effects on foreign policy and national character.
Is American foreign policy dominated by the idea of military supremacy? Has the military become too important in American life? Jarecki's shrewd and intelligent polemic would seem to give an affirmative answer to each of these questions.
