Why We Fight (2005)

In the eye of the storm of 1950s conformity, a visionary stands tall: Dwight D. Eisenhower, the unexpected iconoclast and the Cassandra of an emerging New World Order. As he exits the presidency, he delivers a potent warning about the burgeoning "military industrial complex", a prophecy that paradoxically mirrors the world in 2004 with an intricate web of political, corporate, and Defense Department interests. "Why We Fight" dives into the heart of this entangled labyrinth, raising provocative questions about the domineering role of military supremacy in American foreign policy. Has the military's influence inflated beyond the borders of perspective in American life? Jarecki's incisive and insightful polemic presents a compelling narrative that suggests an affirmative answer. This film serves as a candid exploration of the complex machinery of power, delving into the ominous shadows of a world where the military, politics, and corporate interests become worryingly intertwined. It is a gripping journey that invites viewers to question, reflect, and reconsider the world they thought they knew. "Why We Fight" is not just a title; it's a question that echoes through the corridors of time, urging us to confront the reality of our era.
