Documentary; "The War on Democracy" (2007)
Award winning journalist John Pilger examines the role of Washington in America's manipulation of Latin American politics during the last 50 years leading up to the struggle by ordinary people to free themselves from poverty and racism. Since the mid 19th Century Latin America has been the 'backyard' of the US, a collection of mostly vassal states whose compliant and often brutal regimes have reinforced the 'invisibility' of their majority peoples. The film reveals similar CIA policies to be continuing in Iraq, Iran and Lebanon. The rise of Venezuela's Hugo Chavez despite ongoing Washington backed efforts to unseat him in spite of his overwhelming mass popularity, is democratic in a way that we have forgotten or abandoned in the west. True Democracy being a solid 80% voter turnout in support of Chavez in over 6 elections.

Documentary; "Unfinished Symphony; Democracy and Dissent" (2001)
A documentary about the march of Vietnam Vets on Lexington, Massachusettes in 1971. Many give testimony about what they did during the war and how they felt about it after. In order to give voice to their protest, they first marched to the White House and then the Washington Memorial. These are reportedly the events where Sen. John Kerry, who we get to see in protest-mode, threw "away" his medals. Then in Lexington, they staged a "mock" of some of their atrocities in 'nam. There's also footage of former Sec. of Defense Robert MacNamara and others.

Documentary; "Democracy Deadlocked: Ohio USA" (2009)
What happened to the rights of the people in Ohio following Ohio's 2004 election debacle? Determined to uncover evidence of wrongdoing within Ohio's voting system, a professional journalist joins forces with citizen investigators in "Democracy Deadlocked: Ohio, USA." Melissa Cornick documents the findings of an art teacher, a farmer and a nurse who have toiled for years, using their own grocery money, to expose the shocking truth about the 2004 election. Making a connection between the results of the election and a declining quality of life, the people of Ohio want answers--only the local officials are not forthcoming.
