5.0 out of 5 stars So why is the USA hated so much in the Middle East?, October 29, 2006

Hello Earth! "A real rewier from our planet!" (Tolleson, Arizona United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Our Own Private Bin Laden (DVD)

The film will open your eyes about the USA's foreign policy. Will give you a better perspective to understand just how much the hatred towards America was influenced by the US Government's action since WWII in the Middle East. The documentary featuring interviews by former CIA director Stansfield Turner, among others who will give insights, that you may not have though of before. The documentary is well done, but it is a bit short: only runs 63 minutes, as it questions simple facts that all Americans should know about their own "Democracy" and Government fear mongering, which is used to stir away the general public from the obvious facts, which are clear when one opens their eyes, ears and mind about the reality of our times. This DVD should be viewed and owned by all truth seekers. No wonder it won 10International film awards.

This review is from: Our Own Private Bin Laden (DVD)

I gave this one three because the film maker's effort to get to the heart of our current international situation deserves respect. This documentary includes some intense interviews and a lot of personal opinion. That is why I couldn't give it 5 stars. She does a great job with every aspect of this film except for being impartial. The best documentaries ,especially in this political climate, need to present the facts in a way that leaves the viewer with the room to make their own opinions. Pointing fingers at this country or that or this Intelligence agency or that regime at this point is redundant. They are all corrupt. All problems we are facing now as a species boil down to greed. Tigers kill only what they need, no more, sometimes less. We kill and consume and take more than we need. This is why we face what we do at this moment. I elect Chomsky to the Global Guides to the Good Future. Listen to that man. Check this one out just for his interview if nothing else.
