No End in Sight Produced by Jennie Amias, Audrey Marrs, Jessie Vogelson. Producer/director: Charles Ferguson. New York : Magnolia Home Entertainment, 2007 An insider’s look at the decisions that led to the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq and the handling of the occupation. 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 officals, as well as Iraqi civilians, American soldiers and prominent analysts. 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.
