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),
Colonel 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.
