Caius Julius surnommé Caesar, ambitieux leader politique, est déterminé à devenir dictateur. Il est accueilli en triomphe dans Rome lors de la célébration des Lupercales. Les sénateurs (et en particulier Cassius), face à la réaction de la foule, en viennent à le considérer comme une menace pour Rome. Mais la popularité dont jouit César rend difficile tout complot contre lui.

Tourné sur cinq continents durant plus de deux ans, The Fourth World War fait l’inventaire des nombreux mouvements citoyens qui ont pris naissance un peu partout sur la planète, comme pour écrire une nouvelle page d’histoire composée d’actes de résistance au néo-libéralisme. Filmé simultanément aux premières lignes des conflits au Mexique, en Argentine, en Afrique du Sud, en Palestine, en Corée, en Afghanistan et en Irak, mais aussi lors des grands rassemblements de Seattle, de Gênes et de Québec, ce film engagé témoigne des luttes que mènent des hommes et des femmes contre l’oppression, l’injustice et la violence qui leur sont imposées. The Fourth World War traite de cette guerre sournoise que les États, en concomitance avec les grands groupes financiers et industriels, livrent contre les intérêts et les besoins des citoyens du monde.

« Dix ans après les premières émeutes, les médias européens prétendent que la cure d’austérité en Grèce a réussi et que le calme est revenu. Ce film prouve le contraire. À Thessalonique, des jeunes empêchent les ventes aux enchères de maisons saisies. En Crète, des paysans s’opposent à la construction d’un nouvel aéroport. À Athènes, un groupe mystérieux inquiète le pouvoir en multipliant les sabotages. Dans le quartier d’Exarcheia, menacé d’évacuation, le cœur de la résistance accueille les réfugiés dans l’autogestion. Un voyage en musique parmi celles et ceux qui rêvent d’amour et de révolution.

En Grèce et en Espagne, le film fait un tour d'horizon des luttes qui soufflent en Europe contre la résignation et les politiques d'austérité. Il s'agit d'un voyage en musique, d’un bout à l’autre de la Méditerranée, à la rencontre de résistances, de terres en luttes et d’utopie.

Kopple initially intended to make a film about Kenzie, Miners for Democracy and the attempt to unseat Tony Boyle. When miners at the Brookside Mine in Harlan County, Kentucky went on strike in June 1972, Kopple went there to film the strike against Duke Power Company which the UMWA had helped to organize. The strike proved a more interesting subject, so Kopple switched the focus of her film.

As the picture opens, a re-enacted phone call featuring reporter Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr. in Germany, and narrator Edwin C. Hill in New York is depicted. Then a parade of people carrying torchlights in Berlin, where Jewish works and other political books are burned. Vanderbilt meets with Hill, and then flies out of the country. Hill talks with Vanderbilt about the problems in his country, then a re-enacted interview between Adolf Hitler and Vanderbilt. During a viewing of World War I battle footage, Hitler's home town, Leonidad, Austria, and his parents' graves are pictured. Vanderbilt goes to Vienna, to see Chancellor Dollfuss, and he films several Austrian Nazi riots during a parade. In a re-enactment, Vanderbilt's passport is stolen, and there are several shots of Nazis abusing Jews. In yet another re-enactment, Vanderbilt interviews Crown Prince Wilhelm, and more books are burned. Helen Keller talks to an interviewer about her books, which were burned by the Nazis. Then a conversation Vanderbilt, Kaiser Wilhelm II in Doorn, Holland, and Prince Louis Ferdinand had is re-enacted. Actual anti-Nazi speeches given by prominent Jews and some Gentiles are shown and the Nazis are shown trying to alter the Bible. In the final scene, Congressman Samuel Dickstein of New York and Hill give speeches directly to the audience, explaining the dangers of Nazism.

Un documentaire soulignant, à travers des images d'archives et des témoignages, les enjeux et les attitudes contradictoires des témoins de la guerre du Viêtnam. Le titre vient directement d'un discours du président Lyndon Johnson qui déclara, en tentant de justifier l'envoi de soldats au Viêtnam, que l'ultime victoire ne se gagnerait qu'avec le cœur et l'esprit des hommes qui vivent là-bas.

Ce film a pour titre un slogan qui a fait le tour de la Grèce en crise depuis 2010 et qui commence à voyager au-delà : « Ne vivons plus comme des esclaves », qui se prononce « Na min zisoumé san douli » en grec. Un slogan qu'on peut lire en Grèce sur les murs des villes et sur les rochers des campagnes, sur les panneaux publicitaires vides ou détournés, dans les journaux alternatifs et qu'on peut entendre sur certaines stations de radio et dans les lieux d’autogestion qui se multiplient. Un slogan diffusé jour après jour, et que les intervenants grecs du film invitent les spectateurs à reprendre en chœur, sur les mélodies du film réalisé en coopération avec eux.
