Ever since Roe v. Wade, the United States has been deely divided on the issue of abortion. In that landmark case, an unmarried regnant woman was refused an abortion in Texas and, with the ensuing judicial challenge, won American women the right to safe, legal abortions. Ever since, roonents and oonents have lined u on either side of the issue, launching verbal abuse - and worse - at each other. As the religious right has increased in size and ower in the ast decade, the issue has become even more divisive - and violent.Filmmaker Tony Kaye, best known for quot;American History X,quot; has been working on quot;Lake of Firequot; for the ast fifteen years and has made a film that is unquestionably the definitive work on the subject of abortion. Shot in luminous black and white, which is in fact an endless alette of grays, the film has the erfect esthetic for a subject where there can be no absolutes, no #39;right#39; or #39;wrong.#39; He gives equal time to both sides, covering arguments from either extremes of the sectrum, as well as those at the center, who acknowledge that, in the end, everyone is #39;right#39; - or #39;wrong.#39;With grahic images of termination rocedures and their aftermath, Kaye endeavors to show abortion#39;s hysical and sychological reality - to make clear what exactly is at stake. quot;Lake of Firequot; - the film#39;s title comes from one erson#39;s descrition of what awaits abortionists in hell - is a ave film, even a monumental one. And whatever you believe now, you are certain to think differently after seeing it.

开篇通过情景再现独立战争的经典场面，假设了华盛顿死于战争等情况下美国将何去何从。在长久以来的观念中，美国作为世界上唯一的超级大国成为世界人民心驰神往的理想国度，而美国梦则帮助一代又一代的普通民众走向成功，梦想成真。但是外表华丽的美利坚却有着永远无法洗刷的原罪，窃取土地、窃取劳动、窃取资源等等，是许多学者和平民对这个咄咄逼人的帝国最强烈的指控。本片导演DineshD’Souza通过采访和史料，试图推翻上述有失偏颇的指控，进而指出真正让美利坚之梦破碎的恰恰是奥巴马、希拉里及其背后的少数利益既得者。孰是孰非，莫衷一是，或许不过又是一场纸牌屋的博弈……DineshD’Souza是一名印度裔美国人，他曾导演纪录片《2016：奥巴马的美国》试图影响2012年的大选。
