About the movie "Iraq For Sale: The War Profiteers"...
This is the story of what happens to everyday Americans when corporations go to war.
Acclaimed director Robert Greenwald (Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price, Outfoxed, Uncovered, etc.) takes you inside the lives of soldiers, truck drivers, widows and children who have been changed forever as a result of corporate greed in the reconstruction of Iraq. IRAQ FOR SALE uncovers the connections between private contractors making a killing in Iraq and the decision-makers who allow them to do so.
This is the story no one has yet dared to tell, outlining a disturbing pattern of abuse and mismanagement by the Department of Defense and private security companies. It is the full story of violations, wrongdoings, and immorality of the policy-makers, corporations, and government officials involved; this is the tip of the iceberg of a major political scandal.
Using whistleblowers, first hand accounts, corporate financial records and top-secret documents, IRAQ FOR SALE tells the story that has been kept away from the public for far too long.
