Filmmaker David Kaplowitz leads us on an eye-opening journey, questioning the effects of U.S. foreign policy over the past 50 years. Revealing a pattern of intervention, the film focuses on Guatemala, Vietnam, East Timor, El Salvador, and Palestine/Israel. Archival footage, photographs and media tidbits are dynamically interwoven with personal eye-witness accounts and commentary from academics -- such as Noam Chomsky -- religious leaders and politicians. IN WHOSE INTEREST? is informative and disturbingly honest, yet upbeat, with twists of irony and humor. |
