HOW TO JUMP START YOUR WAR
by Alan Gorg

FESTIVAL DE CINE DE GRANADA 2011

Producer: Alan Gorg
Writer: Alan Gorg
Genre: animation & documentary
Country: United States
Duration: 20 minutes
Original Format: DVD
Leading Actor: Norbert Weisser

Synopsis of the Film: a satiricial look at the similar deceptive protocol used to start each of the last four big international wars: World War Two, Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq. My observation is that films extolling peace are admirable but preach mostly to the converted.
Most people of all political stripes do not like being swindled, and this animated and historical video is about giving college classroom exposure to the four biggest swindles of the last hundred years.

Please note that among the four rulers primarily responsible for those four big wars, there was one fascist, one communist, one Democrat, and one Republican. War is an equal opportunity enterprise.
