Summary |
Filmed over three tumultuous years in India, Pakistan, Japan and the United States, after the 1998 nuclear tests on the Indian subcontinent, and culminating in the September 11 attacks of 2001. The program documents the contemporary, epic journey of peace activism in the face of religious militarism and war. Examines the militarization of India, it analyzes the human cost that is extracted from its citizens in the name of 'national security'. Slips seamlessly from its analysis of homemade jingoism to focus on how an aggressive United States has become a foreign relations role model. The unofficial U.S. doctrine of 'might makes right' is only too well emulated by aspiring Third World elites |
