About This Lesson
Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers is a 2006 documentary about of how corporate power has warped national defense, hurt our soldiers and created a far worse problem for America in Iraq than we could imagine. Produced while the Iraq War was in full swing, the film deals with war profiteering and negligence of private contractors and consultants, such as Blackwater and Halliburton, who went to Iraq as part of the US war effort. Over a decade later, the lessons of this film still hold true.
