Tom Fudge: We start by reviewing a new documentary film about America’s involvement in Iraq. Many documentaries related to the Iraq War have examined part of the conflict, or one aspect of it. But No End in Sight takes on the whole thing. From the planning for the war to the multiple-year occupation, the movie provides facts and narrative. Many of the people interviewed were involved in the occupation. And many of them went in with good intentions, only to be alienated by top administration officials who were calling the shots. No End in Sight makes a convincing argument that our experience in Iraq is a story of lost opportunities and poor decisions.
