Synopsis
Chalmers Johnson, a former CIA advisor, argues that the U.S. maintains a new type of imperialism through its network of military bases. With 250,000 soldiers stationed at over 700 locations in at least 40 countries, these bases often emerge after U.S. military interventions. Historical displacements, such as those on Diego Garcia and in the Middle East, illustrate the impact on local populations. The film questions the long-term consequences of this global military presence.
