Why We Fight

This is a 2005 Sundance documentary winner. In 1961, outgoing President Eisenhower used his last address to the American people to warn them about the dangers of what he called the military-industrial complex. He explained why it was there in the first place - it was new then - and what it would likely become if it was allowed to. This film tells about the failure to acknowledge that warning and how it's changed our country forever. (John McCain is one of the people interviewed.)
