Prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi, tries to have former President George W. Bush charged with the murder of American soldiers in Iraq.

Andy Webster

New York Times

There is no mistaking Mr. Bugliosi's conviction, nor the thoroughness of his research, which largely concerns the Bush administration's claims of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction.

Rated: 3.5/5

Village Voice

So unabashedly one-sided that the doc is problematic even when the facts and figures check out.

There's a joke in the nazis on the moon sci-fi satire Iron Sky that the only fair fight the US ever had in its many assaults and invasions around the world, was with Hitler's Germany. Which is no laughing matter for Vincent Bugliosi or this documentary.

It's a film about the ideal marriage situation for Bill Clinton: Hillary dead.

Despite the incendiary way the film is put together, Vincent Bugliosi provides us with a cohesive argument against the invasion of Iraq, as well as a convincing legal theory for trying George W. Bush for murder. This is a must see for anyone who wants to end an unconscionable war - and bring the perpetrators to justice!

Detailed, with solid scholarship and a stirring case made by Bugliosi. This film will remind you about the Bush years, the way the administration distorted information from the intelligence community, and built a case to go to war with a nation that was not an imminent threat. For those of you who care about America's future, this is a must see.
