With 'The War Campaign', Boris Bertram single-handedly obliterates our belief in political integrity in his coverage of the prelude to the war in Iraq and the political game that drove it. The film is a harrowing account of a war machine that, once in motion, roared away with full determination, showing no interest in criticism or conflicting evidence. When the decision to launch a war against Iraq is made, every effort is made to legitimize the war to the people of the United States and its allies. The war's marketing is carefully composed of customised intelligence reports, 'if's' and hot air, and delivered with a doomsday rhetoric that leaves no room for doubt. Through TV archive materials and interviews with a number of key figures and whistle-blowers who witnessed and contributed to the distortion of the facts that were the basis for the war, we are taken all the way into the corridors of the offices where stories are invented and history is written. 'The War Campaign' gives us an insight into the frightening nature of war and the personal relationships and ambitions that play a larger role in moving the war forward than facts and solid reasoning.
