Over the past couple of weeks, as Robert Greenwald's new movie Iraq For Sale: The War Profiteers has been screened in theatres across the country, the buzz has been fantastic. The New York Times review says:

"Mr. Greenwald compiles a horrifying catalog of greed, corruption and incompetence among private contractors in Iraq, focusing primarily on Halliburton, Blackwater Security Consulting and CACI International... the movie goes on to trace connections between the contractors and the Republican Party, assert the buying of influence and explores what it says are questionable accounting systems that encourage an exorbitant waste of taxpayer money. And that's just the first 30 minutes."

Halliburton, Dick Cheney and Republican leaders everywhere don't want you to see this movie, especially in October, just a few weeks before Election Day. That's why DFA groups around the country have set up almost 200 screenings of Iraq for Sale so you can see it FREE.

You probably remember a few of Robert Greenwald's other movies such as Outfoxed and WalMart: The High Cost of Low Price. In Iraq for Sale, Greenwald 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. The film uncovers the connections between private corporations making a killing in Iraq and the decision makers who let it happen.

The Los Angeles Times review says the film could "unite viewers across all political spectra." The Houston Chronicle says "[Iraq For Sale] carries the torch for the families of civilians who died while driving unprotected trucks on unsafe routes." The Village Voice says, "Iraq for Sale is a much needed reminder of the criminal negligence of those who led the troops into this mess and those who have gotten rich off of it."
