No End in Sight

This Oscar nominated film directed by Charles Ferguson chronicles the reasons behind the American invasion into Iraq in March 2003 and mainly follows the first two years of this unresolved conflict. It critically looks at mistakes which were made by the Bush administration, and the lies and half-truths that were spread through the world. Even though Ferguson, for obvious reasons, was unable to interview the highest ranking actors of the conflict – namely George Bush, Colin Powell or Donald Rumsfeld, he was still able to compose a varied mosaic of the testimonies of other high-ranking officers, Iraqi civilians, American soldiers, journalists and political analysts. All of them hold, in the course of several month and years from the described events, a very critical view of the American presence in the conflict. Apart from the Oscar nomination, the film No End in Sight received several awards, for example the Special Jury Prize for Documentaries at Sundance.
