Film Title: The War on DemocracyCost: $5 to $10 (sliding scale suggested donation)Sponsor: Peninsula Peace and Justice CenterOn Tuesday, April 8, at 7:30 p.m., there will be a screening of filmmaker John Pilger’s new documentary “The War on Democracy” at First Baptist Church of Palo Alto.The War on Democracy demonstrates the brutal reality of America’s notion of ’spreading democracy.’ As award-winning journalist John Pilger documents, America is actually conducting a war on democracy; true popular democracy is now more likely to be found among the poorest of Latin America, whose grassroots popular democratic movements are bursting forth despite U.S.-backed suppression. Although set mostly in Latin America, “The War on Democracy” is a metaphor for all the world.
