Echolalia

Jan 01, 2003
Echolalia is the meaningless repetition of words or phrases associated with forms of dementia and aphasia. In the build-up to the war in Iraq certain phrases were endlessly repeated to the point where these empty rhetorical phrases were confused with concrete facts. I tried to record as many instances of people repeating the phrase “weapons of mass destruction” as I could stand and represent these statements in a way that draws attention to the deadening effect of their repetition, however emphatically they are expressed.
Tous les gouvernements mentent

Isador Feinstein Stone, alias "I. F." ou "Izzy" Stone (1907-1989) est l’une des figures les plus glorieuses du journalisme américain. Farouchement indépendant et engagé à gauche, il a battu en brèche durant des décennies la propagande politique, les abus du Maccartisme, la ségrégation raciale, la guerre du Vietnam et la collusion avec l’industrie. Au nom de sa devise, "Tous les gouvernements mentent", il a défendu âprement la liberté et la démocratie promises par la Constitution dans un bulletin hebdomadaire austère et dépourvu de toute publicité. Placé sous son autorité tutélaire, ce documentaire part à la rencontre de ses héritiers dans l’Amérique d’aujourd’hui – engagée au moment du tournage dans une campagne qui n’avait pas encore été couronnée par la victoire de Trump, mais avait déjà vu éliminer le candidat à l’investiture démocrate Bernie Sanders.

George W. Bush

May 04, 2020
This two-part, four-hour look at the life and presidency of George W. Bush features interviews with historians, journalists and several members of the president’s inner circle. Part One chronicles Bush’s unorthodox road to the White House. The once wild son of a political dynasty, few expected Bush to ascend to the presidency. Yet 36 days after the November 2000 election, Bush emerged the victor of the most hotly contested race in the nation's history. Little in the new president’s past could have prepared him for the events that unfolded on September 11, 2001. Thrust into the role of war president, Bush's response to the deadly terrorist attack would come to define a new era in American foreign policy. Part Two opens with the ensuing war in Iraq and continues through Bush’s second term, as the president confronts the devastating impact of Hurricane Katrina and the most serious financial crisis since the Great Depression.

The War on Democracy

Jun 15, 2007
Set both in Latin America and the United States, the film explores the historic and current relationship of Washington with countries such as Venezuela, Bolivia and Chile. Pilger says that the film "...tells a universal story... analysing and revealing, through vivid testimony, the story of great power behind its venerable myths. It allows us to understand the true nature of the so-called "war on terror". According to Pilger, the film’s message is that the greed and power of empire is not invincible and that people power is always the "seed beneath the snow".
