On the fifth anniversary of the Iraq invasion, FRONTLINE presents definitive documentary analysis of one of the most challenging periods in the nation’s history, drawing on new interviews and stories, as well as FRONTLINE's rich film archive.
9/11 and Al Qaeda, Afghanistan and Iraq, WMD and the Insurgency,
Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, Fallujah and the Surge. For six years,
FRONTLINE has been revealing those stories in meticulous detail,
and the political dramas played out at the highest levels - George
W. Bush and Tony Blair, Dick Cheney and Colin Powell, Donald
Rumsfeld, George Tenet, Condoleezza Rice, Osama Bin Laden.
Now, on the fifth anniversary of the Iraq invasion, the full saga
will unfold in a special four-hour broadcast over two consecutive
nights on PBS, titled "Bush's War."
Drawing on one of the richest archives in broadcast journalism
(FRONTLINE's 40+ films), veteran producer Michael Kirk ("Cheney's
Law"; "Endgame"; "The Lost Year in Iraq"; "The Dark Side"; "The
Torture Question"; "Rumsfeld's War"; "The Man Who Knew"; "War
Behind Closed Doors"; "Gunning for Saddam, Target America") also
delivers new reporting and fresh interviews. "Bush's War"
is the definitive documentary analysis of one of the most
challenging periods in the nation's history.
"Parts of this history have been told before - the invasion of
Afghanistan, torture, flawed intelligence and the invasion of Iraq,
failures in the American occupation, and the saber-rattling over
Iran," Kirk says, "But no one has laid out the entire narrative to
reveal in one epic story, the scope and detail of how this war
began and how it has been fought, both on the ground and deep
inside the government."
