An unparalleled benchmark
in documentary filmmaking.
An amazing soundtrack.
Powerful imagery.

Arundhati Roy's speech strikes to the heart -
every word poiniently and poetically
weaving an intricate tapestry of our modern global ache.

Western citizens, hear her clarity in objective voice;
be confounded by it's compelling incisiveness.
These 64 minutes will rattle your cage....


"The term "anti-American"
is usually used by the American establishment
to discredit and, not falsely -
but shall we say inaccurately - define its critics.

Once someone is branded anti-American,
the chances are that he or she will be judged
before they are heard,
and the argument will be lost
in the welter of bruised national pride." ..<br>


"To call someone "anti-American",
indeed to be anti-American,
(or for that matter, anti-Indian or anti-Timbuktuan)
is not just racist, it's a failure of the imagination.

An inability to see the world in terms
other than those
the establishment has set out for you." - Arundhati Roy
