IRAQ FOR SALE: The War Profiteers is the story of what happens to everyday Americans when corporations go to war. Acclaimed director Robert Greenwald (Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price, Outfoxed and Uncovered) takes you inside the lives of soldiers, truck drivers, widows and children who have been changed forever as a result of profiteering in the reconstruction of Iraq. Iraq for Sale uncovers the connections between private corporations making a killing in Iraq and the decision makers who allow them to do so.

The Un Trilogy
Don't miss The Un Trilogy -- a documentary series exposing the decline of American Democracy.
Unprecedented began with Joan Sekler and Richard Perez coming to me with paper bags filled with tapes they had shot in Florida. I was shocked when they told me no one else was doing a film on Florida. So began my introduction to the joys of documentaries!
Earl Katz and Marge Tabankin helped make it a reality and then Marcus Barron, Allyson Freedman and Dan Raskov got it out to a wider public. When I got the idea for the next film, Earl named it Uncovered and so a series was born!
Unconstitutional is the last in this trilogy and the ACLU with Anthony Romero and Marsha Zeesman have done a brilliant job of getting it out to the public.

Uncovered: The War on Iraq chronicles the Bush Administration's determined quest to invade Iraq following the events of September 11, 2001. The film deconstructs the administration's case for war through interviews with U.S intelligence and defense officials, foreign service experts, and U.N. weapons inspectors – including a former CIA director, a former ambassador to Saudi Arabia and even President's Bush's Secretary of the Army. Their analyses and conclusions are sobering, and often disturbing, regardless of one's political affiliations. Produced and Directed by Robert Greenwald.

Executive Producer Robert Greenwald. Produced and Directed by Nonny de la Pena in association with PIP.
