Narrated by Sean Penn and based on the work of media critic and best- selling author Norman Solomon, who traveled with Penn to Baghdad just before the war to call attention to the dangers of a U.S. invasion, WAR MADE EASY reaches into the Orwellian memory hole to expose 50 years of government spin and media collusion that has dragged our country into one war after another from Vietnam to Iraq. With remarkable archival footage of official distortion and exaggeration from LBJ to George W. Bush, the documentary exposes how presidential administrations of both parties have relied on a combination of deception and media complicity to sell one war after another to the American people.

Freedocumentaries.org is a wonderful resource for progressive, activist documentaries.

5. Ooops. freedocumentaries.org is no longer ad-free. Still way less intrusive or frequent than Hulu.

And it's still my favorite source for online documentaries.

2. I have such great respect for Penn. Btw, his narration in

"Dogtown and Z-Boys" (skateboarding documentary) is also excellent.
