From the front-lines of conflicts in Mexico, Argentina, South Africa, Palestine, Korea, 'the North' from Seattle to Genova, and the 'War on Terror' in New York, Afghanistan, and Iraq.

"The Fourth World War" brings together the images and voices of the war on the ground. It is a story of a war without end and of those who resist.
