Over the course of the last century, the US has encircled the world with a web of military bases unlike any other in history. Today, they amount to more than 700, in 40 countries. No continent is spared. They are one the most powerful forces at play in the world today, yet one of the less talked-about. They have shaped the lives of millions, yet remain a mystery to most. The documentary includes testimonials of experts, intellectuals and former insiders, such as Noam Chomsky, Gore Vidal and Chalmers Johnson, and stories of those directly affected by U.S. bases in countries like Italy and Japan.
