Movie Title: Myths for Profit
  60 min. 2009
Director: Amy Miller
 

Wide Open Exposure

Description:

This dramatic exposé explores Canada’s role in industries of war and peace. Through diverse interviews and case studies, Myths for Profit unveils the specific interests and profits that are made by certain corporation, individuals and agencies within Canada. The Canadian government and the military would like us to believe that we are altruistic peacekeepers helping people around the world. But is this accurate? The film examines how these misconceptions are maintained and who stands to gain by perpetuating them. . Only by breaking down these myths can we hope to understand how these systems of power operate, and help empower people across Canada to change them.
