Film: No End In Sight (2007, Charles Ferguson, Representational Films/Magnolia, 102 min)

No End In Sight

No End In Sight, directed by Charles Ferguson, reconstructs the period from 3 months before the US attacked Iraq through the period of the first Iraqi parliamentary elections using interviews with journalists, diplomats, military personnel, and intelligence officials. It argues that a series of willfully foolish decisions in Washington made civil war and insurgency in Iraqi extremely likely. Meanwhile, it explains the human, cultural and financial cost of this historic blunder. This is a film that you simply must see.
