MOVIE SYNOPSIS

The first film of its kind to chronicle the reasons behind Iraq's
descent into guerilla war, warlord rule, criminality and anarchy, NO
END IN SIGHT is a jaw-dropping, insider's tale of wholesale
incompetence, recklessness and venality.

Based on over 200 hours of footage, the film provides a candid
retelling of the events following the fall of Baghdad in 2003 by high
ranking officials such as former Deputy Secretary of State Richard
Armitage, Ambassador Barbara Bodine (in charge of Baghdad during the
Spring of 2003), Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to Colin
Powell, and General Jay Garner (in charge of the occupation of Iraq
through May 2003) as well as Iraqi civilians, American soldiers, and
prominent analysts.

NO END IN SIGHT examines the manner in which the principal errors of
U.S. policy - the use of insufficient troop levels, allowing the
looting of Baghdad, the purging of professionals from the Iraqi
government, and the disbanding of the Iraqi military - largely created
the insurgency and chaos that engulf Iraq today.

How did a group of men with little or no military experience,
knowledge of the Arab world or personal experience in Iraq come to
make such flagrantly debilitating decisions? NO END IN SIGHT dissects
the people, issues and facts behind the Bush Administration's
decisions and their consequences on the ground to provide a powerful
look into how arrogance and ignorance turned a military victory into a
seemingly endless and deepening nightmare of a war.

NO END SIGHT alternates between U.S. policy decisions and Iraqi
consequences, systematically dissecting the Bush Administration's
decisions.  The consequences of those decisions now include 3,000
American deaths and 20,000 American wounded, Iraq on the brink of
civil war, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilian deaths, the
strengthening of Iran, the weakening of the U.S. military, and
economic costs of over $2 trillion. It marks the first time Americans
will be allowed inside the White House, Pentagon, and Baghdad's Green
Zone to understand for themselves what has become the disintegration
of Iraq.
