In the last 250 years, free-market ideology has played a central role in the development of the logic and rhetoric that have influenced the daily life of populations throughout the world. It was cornered for a few decades during the twentieth century in favor of a social economy for the public interest, and then returned to the limelight in the last thirty years of the century to dominate the logics that drive world economies, doing the favor of the elites at the expense of 99%. Through the testimony of six people informed about the facts, Laissez-faire offers a historical and ideological perspective through which to identify the fundamental problems of the economic mechanism on which societies are based.

El director ganador de un Oscar por Rumores de guerra, Errol Morris ofrece en The Unknown Known un retrato fascinante sobre Donald Rumsfeld, uno de los principales arquitectos de la Guerra de Iraq, un personaje grandioso cuyo carácter provocó los mismos niveles de furia y adulación por parte del pueblo estadounidense. En vez de llevar a cabo una entrevista convencional, Morris conseguirá que Rumsfeld vague entre sus recuerdos para sacar a la luz aquellos que nunca han sido publicados sobre su vida como congresista y asesor de cuatro residentes distintos, dos veces como Secretario de Defensa. Estas memorias nos abrirán una ventana a la Historia, no tal como ocurrió sino como Rumsfeld quiere hacernos creer que ocurrió. Morris intentará demostrar, dilucidar y racionalizar que las memorias del ex congresista se contradicen con la verdad. (SENSACINE)

The notion that oil motivates America's military engagements in the Middle East is often disregarded as nonsense or mere conspiracy theory. In Blood and Oil, bestselling author and Nation magazine defense correspondent Michael T. Klare challenges this conventional wisdom and corrects the historical record. The film unearths declassified documents and highlights forgotten passages in prominent presidential doctrines to show how concerns about oil have been at the core of American foreign policy for more than 60 years -- rendering our contemporary energy and military policies virtually indistinguishable. In the end, Blood and Oil calls for a radical re-thinking of US energy policy, warning that unless we change direction, we stand to be drawn into one oil war after another as the global hunt for diminishing world petroleum supplies accelerates.
