Federal officer with the Department of Homeland Security discovers a national security breach related to the entry of 23 aliens from terrorist countries into the United States. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner, former head of the DEA Robert Bonner can't afford any more media scrutiny, since his incompetence was already exposed in the NASA 'Challenger' disaster. To avoid the scandal, the full might of the government is unleashed against Julia Davis, her family and witnesses. This retaliation reaches an unprecedented magnitude, including four unexplained deaths, Hollywood and the Mafia, false imprisonments and the use of Blackhawk helicopters and airplanes for warrantless surveillance. Amidst many shocking revelations, this documentary provides a new insight into the deaths of well-known Hollywood figures unwittingly dragged into this scandal. The truth is no longer a secret.

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.

A documentary that investigates the ways in which the civil liberties of American citizens and immigrants have been rolled back since September 11 and the passing of the Patriot Act.

In Alex Jones' 11th feature documentary, made in 2004, Alex documents the major candidates in the staged 2004 United States presidential election.

마이클 무어는 치열했던 2000년 대선부터 시작해서 실패한 텍사스 석유재벌에서 미국 대통령이 되기까지의 부시 대통령의 가능할 것 같지 않은 일련의 역사를 거꾸로 거슬러 올라간다. 그리고 나서 마이클 무어는 대통령 일가와 측근의 가까운 친구들과 사우디 왕가와 빈 라덴 일가 사이의 개인적 우정과 사업적 연계성을 보여주며, 공개되어서는 안 될 대통령의 판도라 상자 뚜껑을 열어 제친다. 마이클 무어는 이러한 연관성이 빈 라덴 일가가 911테러 직후 광범위한 FBI의 수색 과정 없이 사우디를 벗어 날수 있도록 허가하는 결정으로 이어졌는가를 영화 내내 집요하게 파고 든다. 또한, 마이클 무어는 국가 방위의 이러한 허점과 기본적인 인권을 침해하는 “애국 법”이 제정되면서 끊임 없이 테러의 공포에 사로잡혀 있는 한 나라와의 명확한 불일치에 대해 집중한다. 또 다른 미스터리는 미국 국경은 재정부족 때문에 위험천만하게도 허술하게 방치되어 있다는 사실이다. 주된 이유는 부시 행정부가 지구반대편에 있는 이라크와의 전쟁을 준비 하는데 엄청난 재원을 할당했기 때문이다.

The 1000 days of George W. Bush's presidency from the 9/11 attacks to the iraqi quagmire.

An exercise in post-September 11th dementia, in which banal lines delivered by talking heads become increasingly sinister.

Echolalia is the meaningless repetition of words or phrases associated with forms of dementia and aphasia. In the build-up to the war in Iraq certain phrases were endlessly repeated to the point where these empty rhetorical phrases were confused with concrete facts. I tried to record as many instances of people repeating the phrase “weapons of mass destruction” as I could stand and represent these statements in a way that draws attention to the deadening effect of their repetition, however emphatically they are expressed.
