Critic Reviews
To say the least, the film is awkward, like a piece of badly assembled Ikea furniture. Still, editor Bernadine Colish weaves together all that C-SPAN footage into a disturbing procedural indictment.

Joins the growing mass of excellent, disturbing and achingly sad documentaries about the Iraq conflict.Read the full review
