In 1961 during his exit speech, President Dwight Eisenhower warned Americans of the dangers of a "military-industrial complex". The documentary "Why We Fight" focuses on this topic. This film is not a "docudrama" like election year's "Fahrenheit 9/11" but rather an extremely serious, eye-opening look at the Pentagon, its military suppliers, congress and the role our past and present administrations have played in supporting the "complex". The film details how the complex plays a huge role in why our U.S. leadership manufactures motives to go to war. The title "Why We Fight" comes from a series of 1942-1945 propaganda films leading to and through WWII.
If you have interest in why our government systematically continues to flex its military authority "Why We Fight" is a film you don't want to miss.
*This film won the 2005 Grand Jury Prize at Sundance.
