ITEM OVERVIEW
A fast paced, informative hour-long examination of America's adventures, and their aftermaths, in Iraq. Was the invasion really a surprise? Why wasn't Washington's rhetoric against Saddam ever matched by any real support to the Iraqi opposition groups? What purpose can the embargo over Iraq serve if it is not to weaken Saddam, a result it has evidently failed to achieve to this day? What is behind the mysterious "Gulf War Syndrome" that goes on affecting thousands of Gulf War veterans and local populations. The result of a two year investigation, with documents never before seen on television and backed by interviews with the likes of Desert-Storm Commander General Norman Schwarzkopf, Ramsey Clark, former UN Iraq Program Director Dennis Halliday, archival footage, and moving images recently brought back from Iraq, this is an incredible achievement. It's all topped off with an original sound-track scored by acclaimed composer Fritz Heede and narration by two-time British Academy Award-winner, actor John Hurt. Extra DVD features include an extended interview with depleted Uranium expert Doug Rokke, an interview in Basra Hospital, and full cast and crew biographies. Unfortunately, there's never been more need for this than now.
