Is American foreign policy dominated by the idea of
military supremacy? Has the military become too
important in American life? Jarecki's ... all » shrewd
and intelligent polemic would seem to give an
affirmative answer to each of these questions
The American Documentary Grand Jury Prize was given to
WHY WE FIGHT, written and directed by Eugene Jarecki.

What are the forces that shape and propel American
militarism? This award-winning film provides an inside
look at the anatomy of the American war machine.
He may have been the ultimate icon of 1950s conformity
and postwar complacency, but Dwight D. Eisenhower was an
iconoclast, visionary, and the Cassandra of the New
World Order. Upon departing his presidency, Eisenhower
issued a stern, cogent warning about the burgeoning
"military industrial complex," foretelling with ominous
clarity the state of the world in 2004 with its
incestuous entanglement of political, corporate, and
Defense Department interests.
Deploying the general's farewell address as his
strategic ground zero, Eugene Jarecki launches a
full-frontal autopsy of how the will of a people has
become an accessory to the Pentagon. Surveying the
scorched landscape of a half-century's military
misadventures and misguided missions, Jarecki asks
how--and tells why--a nation ostensibly of, by, and for
the people has become the savings-and-loan of a system
whose survival depends on a state of constant war.
Jarecki, whose previous film, The Trials of Henry
Kissinger, took such an unblinking look at our
ex-secretary of state, might have delivered his film in
time for the last presidential election, but its timing
is also its point: It does not matter who is in charge
as long as the system remains immune from the checks and
balances of a peace-seeking electorate. Brisk,
intelligent, and often very, very human, Why We Fight is
one of the more powerful films in this year's Festival,
and certainly among the most shattering.— Diane
