For most Americans, following the tragic and utterly depressing ins
and outs of the Bush Regime�s mad rush to war in Iraq and their
devastating and willful agenda of death and destruction both by lethal
weapons and gross incompetence, can get very overwhelming� very fast.
First time film maker Charles Ferguson has written, directed and
produced a documentary so powerful and so precise that 102
breathtaking minutes will catch most people up with most of what�s
gone down in Iraq in the last 4 years. The movie tells the
unembelished story of what the Bush Regime has wrought in the Middle
East through the eyes and through the words of reliable on-the-scene
actors like Colin Powell�s Chief of Staff, Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson,
ex-Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, Ambassador Barbara
Bodine, Bush�s first Iraq �viceroy,� General Jay Garner, as well as
through the experiences of Iraqi civilian leaders and American
military personnel in Baghdad. It is showing in NYC and DC now, opens
throughout the L.A. area today and all over the country a week from
today.

No End in Sight doesn�t attempt to draw conclusions about whether the
tragic melding of arrogance and ignorance� Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and
their cronies� purposely created the chaos that has destroyed civil
society in Iraq; the movie just documents that destruction in the most
compelling way the medium of film can be used and leaves the
conclusions to the viewer. The uniqueness of this film lies in
Ferguson�s ability to bring the viewer right into the space of the
decision makers (if not The Decider). �The film,� he explained, �is
the first detailed dissection of the extraordinary way in which some
of these decisions were made� in secret, by a small number of men who
had virtually no relevant experience and who either failed to consult
with, or overruled, the people on the ground and the military.�
