Most of Latin America were controlled by dictators that were supported by the Unites States directly and indirectly. The dictators sent many of their henchmen to be trained in American schools to be taught, “American Values.” These henchmen were taught how to torture and kill in order to get the things desired. America began to use those Latin American countries as lab rats. In Chile for example, Milton Friedman brought “economic miracle,” upon the country. He introduced extreme inequality; the rich get richer and poor get poorer. The Chilean people still had a Democracy, but one that always benefited this new economy. Throughout this film, it is clear that America played a very important role in the political development of these countries.
