Kanada Kev Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Watched this documentary last night on TVO. Fascinating, disturbing, eerily similar to current events. I highly suggest taking the time to view it. It's on again;http://www.tvo.org/TVOsites/WebObjects/TvoMicrosite.woa?b?8976221200549772000Jan 17th @ 1am on TVOA look at some of the seminal events in America in the 20th century, through the eyes of former Secretary of Defense, Robert S. McNamara. Why was this past century the most destructive and deadly in history? Are we doomed to repeat our mistakes? From the firebombing of 100,000 Japanese civilians in 1945, to the brink of the nuclear catastrophe during the Cuban missile crisis, to the devastating effects of the Vietnam war. The Fog of War is essential viewing for anyone who wants to understand how the American government justifies the use of military force.Combining extraordinary archival footage, recreations, newly declassified White House recordings, and an original score by the Oscar nominated composer, Philip Glass, the film is a disquieting and powerful essay on war, rationality, and human nature.http://webcast.newswire.ca/archive/MMNR/tvo/jan2007/humanedge300.wmvhttp://theologyinthevineyard.wordpress.com/2007/01/12/the-fog-of-war/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
