"Iraq for Sale"
Iraq for Sale
Dir. Robert Greenwald, 2006, 75 min.
The story of what happens to everyday Americans when corporations go to war. One man documentary film studio Robert Greenwald (Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price, Outfoxed) takes you inside the lives of soldiers, truck drivers, widows and children who have been changed forever as a result of profiteering in the reconstruction of Iraq. Iraq for Sale uncovers the connections between private corporations making a killing in Iraq (Blackwater, Halliburton/KBR, CACI and Titan) and the decision makers who allow them to do so.
Speakers TBA
