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.

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.

« 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.

The film reports on controversies concerning and within the animal rights movement. These include external conflicts between animal rights advocates and medical researchers and restaurant operators, and internal disagreements within the animal rights movement between the animal shelter operators and the confrontationalists who demonstrate outside homes of corporate opponents. The film also discusses the comparison between animal liberation activists and political terrorists, including the FBI's ranking of animal-rights activists as the nation's No. 1 domestic terrorism threat.

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.
