Details

War of Lies is the story of an Iraqi refugee, whose information about portable weapons of mass destruction passed through the hands of the BND, MI6 and CIA. This information was ultimately used by the US government to legitimize the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Today we know the war was based on a lie. The press blamed Rafed Ahmed Alwan, he, though, proudly presents himself as the man who helped remove Saddam Hussein. Was Alwan really able to walk all over the worlds intelligence services and how did this lie become a convenient truth?

Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!
Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
grayswolfwind The director puts too many personal ideology on asking questions to Rafed Ahmed Alwan. Very strongly presumsion that Rafed Ahmed Alwan is evil and should fell shame for his action. I do not think the film presents a balance point of view on documantary Iraq war.
