A highly acclaimed, gripping examination into the fear-tactics, scare-mongering and politics of manipulation the American government employed to justify their reasons for going to war with Iraq. It investigates the validity of the evidence and information sold to the US Congress and the American public in the run-up to war. Resisting the use of spectacle and sensationalism to get its message across, the film gives us the opportunity to see a more thorough view of these troubling circumstances for the first time.
