Two years in the making, 'The War on Democracy' is to be released in cinemas in the UK, starting with the Curzon Soho, the Ritzy Brixton, the Barbican and the Cornerhouse in Manchester from Friday 15 June. Booking details will follow shortly.
On Wednesday 20 June, John Pilger will be at the Curzon Soho for a question-and-answer session, and will appear at the Barbican the next day, Thursday 21 June.
The distributor is Lionsgate Films which, in the UK and the US, has played a leading part in the new wave of feature-length documentaries.
The film will also be released in Australia in September by Hopscotch Films. Contact [email protected] for more info.
'The War on Democracy' is John Pilger's first major film for the cinema - in a career that has produced more than 55 television documentaries. Set in Latin America and the US, it explores the historic and current relationship of Washington with countries such as Venezuela, Bolivia and Chile.
"The film tells a universal story," says Pilger, "analysing and revealing, through vivid testimony, the story of great power behind its venerable myths. It allows us to understand the true nature of the so-called war on terror".
The ITV (http://www.johnpilger.com/) network will show the new film following its cinema debut.
