Charles Ferguson in Person!
The first film to tackle Iraq’s chaotic descent into war and anarchy, 2007’s No End in Sight is sadly just as germane now as it was then. Going behind the scenes of the 2003 invasion of Iraq and fall of Baghdad, the film uncovers an almost blinding level of either incompetence or willful ignorance on the part of American military planners and government officials. “An absolutely vital film, exacting, enraging, and revelatory,” wrote A. O. Scott in the New York Times. This is “the rare American documentary that doesn’t preach to the converted,” noted the Village Voice’s Rob Nelson. “Masterfully edited and cumulatively walloping, the evidence speaks for itself.”
