Silent Coup d''etat

Although Russo's accompanying narration can sound a bit overwrought—he refers to 1913 as the year all-powerful banking interests led a "silent coup d'état of the American government"—America: Freedom to Fascism doesn't come across like the ravings of some disgruntled conspiracy theorist, preaching gloom and doom. Filmmaking lapses aside, this is an impassioned and generally persuasive film that rings all too eerily true. In the end, whether or not you agree with Russo's assertions, America: Freedom to Fascism certainly provides ample food for thought—and perhaps fodder for heated debate—about the current state of the union.
