Effendem Film, Takae Films present: Standing Army
The US has encircled the world with a web of military bases that today amount to more than 700, in 40 countries. It’s one of the most powerful forces at play in the world, yet one of the less talked-about. Why do countries like Germany, Italy, Japan still host hundreds of US military bases and thousands US soldiers? What stance has president Obama taken on this subject? This documentary answers these and other questions both through the words of experts Noam Chomsky, Gore Vidal and Chalmers Johnson, and through those directly affected by US bases in Italy, Japan and in the Indian Ocean.
