Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers (2006)

This documentary tells the story of what happens to everyday Americans when corporations go to war. Taking 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.

Iraq for Sale uncovers the connections between private corporations making a killing in Iraq, and the decision makers who allow them to do so.

The documentary features interviews with employees and former employees of such companies as Halliburton, CACI, and KBR who suggest that government cronyism is behind apparent “sweetheart” deals that give such contractors enormous freedom to profit from supplying support and material to American troops while providing little oversight.

Survivors of employees who were killed discuss the claim that the companies cared more for profit than for the welfare of their own workers, and soldiers indicate that the quality of services provided is sub-standard and severely in contradiction to the comparatively huge profits being generated.
