In 1970, at the height of the Vietnam War and on the heels of Nixon's announcement that U.S. troops would invade Cambodia, a mild-mannered English professor at UC Berkeley completed a startling book called The War Conspiracy. Yet, despite the fact that the author's publisher was Bobbs Merrill, a major literary brand, the book never reached the public domain. Little did the professor know there were powerful forces working behind the scenes to prevent its release. He would later discover that through its ties to ITT, a major shareholder in Bobbs Merrill, the Central Intelligence Agency was able to suppress the book.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Edmonds has all the information to crack 9/11, the Afghan War, and Iraqi War wide open! She and a former CIA specialist discuss the material at length involved with the lead up and commencing Afghan War. This is extremely explosive and something the government does not want you to see!!! Just when you thought you knew it all about the Wars, government, and media, this will most certainly turn it upside down!!! That's a promise. No wonder the government does not want her to testify. This could mean the very end of the Bush administration and many members of Congress. It will make you wonder if you were in reality or living in fantasy land.

Admittedly, I have not yet seen this movie. No one has in America, except perhaps for the subject of the film, Sibel Edmonds.But I do know what is contained in the film and it is explosive. It's a sordid tale of a true American patriot, who, after discovering high-levels of espionage, corruption and bribery of high-level U.S. officials by Turkish nationals, was turned into a pariah by the Bush Administration instead of being congratulated.It is the story of someone who refused to give up and continues to fight, basically against all odds. Sibel and these other whistle-blowers need our support- so let's make sure this movie is shown in the United States.
