INTERVIEW: Oliver Stone Blames South of the Border Policies For Arizona Immigration Law
In casual conversations with seven sitting presidents, Stone gains unprecedented access to and sheds new light upon the exciting transformations in the region. Mr. Stone was most struck by the extent to which the presidents are committed to determining the future of their own nations without undue outside influence and control.
Shot in 2009, the film also offers startling insights into the Bush Administration foreign policies - including that Bush seems to have believed the best way to grow the economy was by waging war.
