film review-UNCOVERED: THE WHOLE TRUTH ABOUT THE IRAQ WAR

Before getting to what "Uncovered: The Whole Truth about the Iraq War" has to say, the most singular thing about this hourlong documentary is how, in almost real time, it got from the filmmakers to you. Quickly assembled in response to current events (the most recent piece of information shown onscreen dates from October, just a month before the film's public premiere) and given a few one-time screenings in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, the film has now been burned onto thousands of DVDs and mailed out to citizens nationwide. In an effort organized by the innovative political Web site MoveOn.org, it will be shown at house parties around the US from Dec. 7. This is not just a documentary — it's a technological phenomenon that was never possible before. It's both a movie and a movement. The documentary movie includes statements made by by Robert Greenwald with David Albright, Robert Baer, Milt Bearden, Rand Beers, Bill Christison, Kathleen McGrath Christison, David Corn, Philip Coyle, John Dean, Patrick Eddington, Chas Freeman, Graham Fuller, Mel Goodman, John Brady Kiesling, Karen Kwiatkowski, Patrick Lang, Dr. David C. MacMichael, Ray McGovern, Scott Ritter, The Rt Honorable Clare Short, Stansfield Turner, The Honorable Henry Waxman, Thomas E. White, Joe Wilson, Colonel Mary Ann Wright, Peter Zimmerman. UNCOVERED: THE WHOLE TRUTH ABOUT THE IRAQ WAR is shown on the Sundance Channel and available on DVD
