America – From Hitler to M-X (1982)
Director: Joan Harvey
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Despite Joan Harvey's provocative thesis - that US finance capital was deeply implicated in the Nazi armaments industry, and is involved again in today's nuclear escalation - her documentary has little of the polemical agit-prop of its companion in the nuclear controversy stakes, The Atomic Café. Instead, it's a painstakingly detailed compilation of archive material, investigative reportage, and masses of interviews - with ex-uranium miners, Navajos, many now critically ill; with scientists; with top military and intelligence brass - used to quietly convincing effect.Author: SJo
