Plan Colombia: Cashing-In on the Drug War Failure by Gerard Ungerman & Audrey Brohy, premiered at last fall's Vancouver International Film Festival. This video sheds light on the complex issues of drug-trafficking and civil struggle in Colombia and the impact of both the current chemical-spray program carried out by the U.S. Defense-contractor Dyncorps and the multi-billion-dollar aid package delivered to the brutal Colombian military.

Uncovered: The Whole Truth About the Iraq War by Robert Greenwald is part documentary, part agitprop infomercial. Built around interviews with over 20 intelligence and military experts, many of whom are speaking out for the first time, this film shows how President Bush and his administration exaggerated the threat of Iraq in order to take the nation to war. "A powerful documentary. A must see for anyone interested in the truth about what's going on in Iraq," Martin Sheen. See http://www.truthuncovered.com
