have heard from the generals, they've heard from the politicians, they've
heard from the media... but they haven't heard the from the veterans." See

No End in Sight (2007)
Sunday, March 16, 8pm
Arcobaleno
Via Pullino, 1 (metro Garbatella, see directions below)

Film 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 largely created the insurgency and chaos that engulf Iraq today."
