The End of America (film)

The End of America is a 2008 documentary film directed by Annie Sundberg and Ricki Stern, adapted from Naomi Wolfs 2007 book, The End of America Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot. The film analyzes policy changes made during the Bush Administration, and makes the case that these changes threaten American democracy.

The films style is similar to that of An Inconvenient Truth in that Wolf presents a lecture, filmed with multiple cameras, to an interactive audience. Breakaway segments featuring both talkinghead and fly on the wall interviews demonstrate the historical echoes and presentday consequences of the erosion of Americas Constitution. These interviews are from a diverse collection of individuals, including intelligence community top brass, who are willing to talk on camera about the uselessness of intelligence gained through torture. The film also features grassroots political leaders, military generals, and victims of undermined civil liberties.Wolf outlines ten steps that closing societies such as Hitlers Germany, Mussolinis Italy, and Stalins Russia have historically followed. These steps, Wolf claims, are being observed in America now. ........
