documentary based on a speech by Arundhati Roy on global politics, imperialism, the military industrial complex ....ok dont write it off just yet as just another snorefest on the politics of power. This is different. The movie is made in the style of a music video with music by:

lush, curve, love & rockets, boards of canada, nine inch nails, dead can dance, amon tobin, massive attack, totoise, telepop, placebo and faith less

watch the documentary even if it's just for the music (Arundhati Roy's excellent speech should be reason enough but some of you have short attention spans )

watch it now

watched the first 13 minutes, but I gotta go study for a test. So far, it is a very good viewpoint on the state our world is in. Massive nationalism causes blind ignorance.

I don't have time to watch the video at the mo as I'm supposed to be doing something else D:
However I will say this - Arundhati Roy is an absolutely superb, genuinely inspiring writer and I can only assume that whatever she has to say will be pure gold.

I've heard this particular speech a half dozen times; it's probably one of her most famous ones
