This trailer is for State of Fear, a documentary film about the evolution of the Shining Path in Perú and the Fujimori government’s response, which, as the filmmakers say, “serves as a cautionary tale for a world engaged in a ‘global war on terror’. It dramatizes the human and societal costs a democracy faces when it embarks on a ‘war’ against terror, a ‘war’ potentially without end, all too easily exploited by unscrupulous leaders seeking personal political gain.”
Hmmm. Sounds familiar.
Paul Theroux said of State of Fear:
“A brilliant and moving film, which is both a portrait of Peru and a chronicle of terror and response – fanaticism, bravery, heroism, abject fear and the way everyone is affected by such events. It is what Orwell called the aim of great art, which was both imaginative in craftsmanship and politically committed at its heart.”
