Theme: War & Imperialism
While the bombs are falling over Libya, we put focus on war and imperialism with the movies of this month. Maybe these movies will provide food for thought as well as insight regarding the potentially frightening development in North Africa and the Middle East?
The Fog of War
The film provides a very insightful perspective on the international security of the United States of America. The documentary is about Robert McNamara, Secretary of Defense in the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations, who subsequently became president of the World Bank. When it comes to war, Robert S. McNamara wants us to know that our history with war has taught us plenty. Not that we've learned much from it. A fascinating look into the mind of one of 20th century America's most controversial military figures
