This Bloody, Blundering Business (1975)

History, Comedy, Documentary · 30m

In this satirical rendering of the history of American intervention in the Philippines following the Spanish-American War, the silent movie format with lively ragtime piano music is combined with a dramatically understated narration and excerpts from "newsreels" of the period to reveal the nature of American attitudes toward Third World peoples and significant parallels with contemporary American foreign policy.
