Veteran journalist John Pilger's documentary reveals what the news doesn't, that the United States and the world's second economic power, China (both nuclear armed) are on the road to war. John Pilger raises the alarm on an under-reported and dangerous provocation.
You may come out of it agreeing with him, disagreeing with him, or somewhere in between. But it's a live issue that could change the world, could end the world as we know it, and this dedicated journalist wants to make sure we know about it.
A barbed interview with a US diplomat is prime Pilger, but his eye for imagery amid the apocalyptic foreshadowing is equally strong - walking through an abandoned US nuclear test bunker he invokes "a subterranean temple to modern times".
