War of Lies (2014)

Plot

Rafed Ahmed Alwan, an Iraqi refugee, played a pivotal role in shaping the narrative that justified the 2003 invasion of Iraq. His claims about portable weapons of mass destruction circulated through major intelligence agencies, including the BND, MI6, and CIA, ultimately influencing U.S. government decisions. Despite revelations that the war was based on misinformation, Alwan embraces his controversial legacy as the man who contributed to Saddam Hussein's downfall. The film delves into how this deception was crafted and why it became an accepted truth among global intelligence services and the media.
