FALLUJAH is a collaborative production created by Iraqi and American
filmmakers. After a major US-led offensive launch in November of 2004,
two-thirds of the city was destroyed and thousands of its citizens were
forced into refugee camps.

Code Pink commissioned Iraqi filmmaker Homodi Hasim to send a team of
videographers and investigative journalists to Fallujah to record the
destruction and death inflicted by the American assault. He also
interviewed many of the thousands of Fallujah residents who were forced to
live in refugee camps on the outskirts of Fallujah and Baghdad.

Using the footage produced by Code Pink and additional footage of the
US-led destruction of Fallujah, Deep Dish Television has produced this
gripping documentary.

IRAQ FOR SALE - THE WAR PROFITEERS is a documentary produced by Brave New
Films. It tells 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.
