The film starts with the events of March 2004 in Fallujah, where four Blackwater contractors were ambushed, set afire, their burned corpses dragged through the streets and then finally displayed hanging from a bridge. In interviews, two of the contractors’ families contend that Blackwater, in search of higher profit, neglected to provide proper support and protection to their employees, including maps, decent translators, an armored vehicle, and sufficient security personnel (their convoy was short a machine gunner). The families contend that with such support, their loved ones might be alive today.

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.

The story follows filmmaker Bryan Hall's experience as a Mormon during the 2008 Presidential race. While following the debates, Hall becomes increasingly aware of the escalating attacks against a particular candidate over his religion: Mitt Romney, who happens to also be a Mormon. Hall decides to investigate this issue and comes to realize that the issue of religious bigotry in politics goes far beyond his own faith. It has been the subject of intense argument from the earliest days of the American colonies. In the end, Hall makes the case for the need for religious tolerance in America; not just for his religion, but for all religions.
