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. 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.
