  • The recent documentary "At the Top of My Voice exposes the true face of the Saakashvili regime. It elucidates the anger of the oppostion at the man DC lobbyists would have you believe is a true democrat, but whom the opposition knows through his autocratic tendencies and his use of violence far worse that his 2007 crackdown. The film buttresses everything Mr. Ames writes about Saakashvili and removes the democratic mask to reveal a man ruthlessly drunk on his own image and power.
