No End in Sight, which won the 2007 Special Jury Prize at Sundance (although it was released practically in secrecy), examines the failures of America’s ongoing occupation of Iraq. Narrated by actor Campbell Scott, this film retraces the U.S. government’s steps after the "fall" of Baghdad in April 2003.
Charles Ferguson utilizes on-camera interviews with key personnel intimately involved with the rebuilding of Iraq, including former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, Ambassador Barbara Bodine, Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to Colin Powell, and General Jay Garner , as well as Iraqi civilians, American soldiers and prominent analysts.

Emphasizing analysis over manipulation, the film details mistakes of the Bush administration. With a journalistic tone, Scott mostly recounts the facts of the occupation: one of the reasons for the postwar reconstruction’s collapse seems to be the administration’s lack of experience.
This documentary confirms what we thought we knew: American policy in Iraq was flawed from the start.
