Exposing the political, economic, and ideological forces driving America to fight against an ever-changing enemy, this hard-hitting documentary asks how -- and answers why -- a nation supposed to be "of, by, and for the people" actually functions as the savings-and-loan of a system whose survival depends on a state of constant war. Inspired by President Eisenhower's 1961 Farewell Address (warning Americans of the mounting dangers of the "military-industrial complex"), filmmaker Eugene Jarecki explores a half-century of U.S. foreign policy from World War II to the Iraq War. Weaving together unforgettable stories of everyday Americans touched by a war, with commentary by a "who's who" of military and Washington insiders, "WHY WE FIGHT" reveals many ways in which political and corporate interests are alarmingly entangled in America's business of war. Featuring John McCain, Gore Vidal, Richard Perle, Dan Rather, Karen Kwiatkowski, the Eisenhower family, and others, "WHY WE FIGHT" paints a compelling portrait of a nation relentlessly pursuing its deadly trajectory towards an increasingly imperial and imperiled future. In the face of current government efforts to escalate U.S. military aggression in Iraq and elsewhere -- despite Americans' overwhelming opposition to this war -- this award-winning film speaks to why the U.S. keeps fighting, and why we must stop that fighting now!
