The story of what happens to everyday Americans when corporations go to war. Acclaimed director Robert Greenwald (Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price, Outfoxed, and Uncovered) takes you inside the lives of soldiers, truck drivers, widows and children who have been changed forever as a result of profiteering in the reconstruction of Iraq. Iraq for Sale uncovers the connections between private corporations making a killing in Iraq and the decision makers who allow them to do so.
In particular the documentary focuses on four corporations that received the bulk of the Iraq reconstruction contracts: Blackwater is a private army for hire, that recieved most of the security and police training contracts; Halliburton KBR is a huge presence in Iraq providing construction and petroleum services; CACI and L3/TITAN are IT firms that provided translators and interrogators at Abu Ghraib prison.
