Planet USA Film
"Planet USA" was a project concerned with improving American knowledge and concern about the rest of the world. Despite the good intentions of most Americans, most of the U.S. population is largely ignorant of U.S. foreign policy and the impact of American business and military actions around the world. This is dangerous considering the unbridled expansionist doctrine of the current Bush administration. The United States has become a world empire and we believe all Americans need to be more informed and more responsible in order to contribute to the health of the planet.Americans also feel helpless and overwhelmed when considering more active involvement. However, after the war on Iraq, it is clear that continued protest and resistance is needed. We need to overcome the fear mongering that has been inflicted on us and work together for change.
