The Oil Factor

After spending three months in Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan, Ungerman and Brohy assess the results of the US attacks on Iraq and Afghanistan. They expose the human cost and examine the bigger geo-strategic picture of these invasions that may lead the world toward the next global conflict. This new documentary is filled with solid facts and figures, clear, illustrative maps, original footage shot in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as interviews with such personalities as Zbigniew Brzezinski, Noam Chomsky, The Project For The New American Century Director Gary Schmitt, author Ahmed Rashid, and the Pentagon's Karen Kwiatkowski. Did you know that almost half a million US military personnel are deployed overseas near oil fields and oil routes? Or that the US military deployment in Afghanistan and Central Asia blocks China and Russia from accessing oil and natural gas they desperately need for their economies? A must-see for anyone who wants to fill in the blanks with what is really at stake with today's "war on terror."
