For the first time ever, the documentary will be featured on its own YouTube channel, available free of charge to anyone with a computer and high-speed internet connection.
No End In Sight's director, Charles Ferguson, is underwrighting the YouTube broadcast. "I wanted to make the film, and the facts about the occupation of Iraq, accessible to a larger group of people. My hope is that this will contribute to the process of making better foreign policy decisions moving forward in Iraq and elsewhere. During this election year, it’s important to examine the leadership mentality and policies that caused Iraq to descend into such a horrific state that after 4,000 American deaths, at least a quarter million Iraqis killed, 4 million refugees, and over $2 trillion spent, Iraq remains in a state of near collapse," said Ferguson in a press release announcing the YouTube streaming.
This is an unusual opportunity to see a great film that was one of my TopTen Documentaries of 2007.

It’s Labor Day and, unfortunately, not available on Youtube.com. I had it noted on my calendar. Not sure why not available there yet. An IMPORTANT film.
What about Anytown USA by Kristian Fraga? I saw this recently and the characters running for mayor, along with their politics, form an eerie mirror of what is happening right now in the current political arena. It seems like just another story of a mayor’s race, and then completely morphs into exactly the same story of George Bush vs. faceless, personality-less Democrats, and a whole bunch of other people with better ideas and more passion, but seemingly very little power – aka progressives. Spooky good fun, and really useful as a primer on election season politics.
