STATE OF FEAR - The Truth About Terrorism

Back


STATE OF FEAR is a documentary about Peru's war on terror based on the findings of Peru's Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The film dramatizes the human and societal costs a democracy faces when it embarks on a "war" against terror, a "war" potentially without end, all too easily exploited by unscrupulous leaders seeking personal political gain. The film follows events in Peru, yet it serves as a cautionary tale for a nation like the United States. "A brilliant and moving film, which is both a portrait of Peru and a chronicle of terror and response - fanaticism, bravery, heroism, abject fear and the way everyone is affected by such events. It is what Orwell called the aim of great art, which was both imaginative in craftsmanship and politically committed at its heart." - Paul Theroux, Author
