Leading To War
About this original series
Comprised entirely of archival news footage, without commentary or voiceover, LEADING TO WAR offers a compressed, chronological view of the media record, revealing the the Bush administration's determination to lead the United States to war in Iraq. In addition to the feature is a set of extra scenes as well as a collection of short videos focused on particular themes derived from the film. Appearing in the film and videos are George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Colin Powell, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleeza Rice, Paul Wolfowitz, George Tenet, Ari Fleischer, John Ashcroft, and Tony Blair. Building upon fears about terrorism and weapons of mass destruction, “the axis of evil” and al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein, they led a steady drumbeat for war. A companion website, www.leadingtowar.com, provides an in-depth exploration of the strategies and rhetorical techniques used by the Bush officials along with a well-documented examination of their pre-war claims.
