Lifting the Veil: Obama and the Failure of Capitalist Democracy
Barack
Obama and the failure of capitalist democracy, this film explores the
historical role of the Democratic Party as the graveyard of social movements,
the massive influence of corporate finance in elections, the absurd disparities of
wealth in the United States, the continuity and escalation of neocon policies
under Obama, the insufficiency of mere voting as a path to reform, and differing
conceptions of democracy itself. Original interview footage derives from Noam Chomsky, Michael Parenti, Michael Albert, John Stauber (PR Watch), Sharon Smith (Historian), William I. Robinson (Editor, Critical Globalization Studies), Morris Berman (Author, Dark Ages America), and famed black panther Larry Pinkney.
Non-original interviews/lectures include Michael Hudson, Paul Craig Roberts, Ted Rall, Richard Wolff, Glen Ford, Lewis Black, Glenn Greenwald, George Carlin, Gerald Cliente, Chris Hedges, John Pilger, Bernie Sanders, Sheldon Wollin and Martin Luther King.

"Lifting the Veil is the long overdue film
that powerfully, definitively, and finally exposes the deadly 21st century
hypocrisy of U.S. internal and external policies, even as it imbues the viewer
with a sense of urgency and an actualized hope to bring about real systemic
change while there is yet time for humanity and this planet. See this film!"
