Superpower

A look at the state of our disintegrating republic
Not recommended for those who are A) paralyzed by fear, B)afraid to think for themselves, or C)convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that they and all of us born in the U.S., are somehow God's gift to the planet. The documentary is a nice examination of the most important fundamental issues facing the nation in regard to our loss of liberty,our out of control military/intelligence services, the out of control wealth/power on Wall Street, lying and treasonous politicians and military leaders, and a disintegrating infrastructure and economic base.

Those who are afraid to face the truth are doomed to fall prey to the disregard for rights and liberties by those who would take advantage of them. This film asks the viewers to become aware, take control, and make a difference.

Producted during the Bush presidency.
Well done documentary made during the Bush presidency. Good pace and coherently presented. I can see this being viewed by future citizens as a perspective of what how we got to where we are.
