Description

In 2003, the White House administration made a case for the invasion of Iraq. The facts didn’t add up, and only one team of journalists got the story right. Shock and Awe is the true story of these journalists, and what it is like to hunt for the truth when the stakes are life, death, and American democracy. Starring Woody Harrelson, James Marsden, Rob Reiner and Tommy Lee Jones.

    …Tell lies often enough and too many people believe. The case for war was all lies.

    This movie is a must. Another commenter mentioned that if you like Lions for Lambs, you’ll be disappointed. Not true. Both excellent movies. Serious tone. Otherwise I’d pair it with Pentagon Wars for relevant and informative movie. Does pair with Official Secrets in somber tone, subject, and value. My only disappointment is I only rented this based on the lower review scores instead of buying it.
  • A must watch for sure

    Excellent film about the true narrative avoided by mainstream press and the public leading up to our invasion of Iraq under G.W. Bush’s presidency. False patriotism was used by our government as tool post 9/11. Facts are facts.
  • Liberal crap

    Waste of money ... trying to justify their biased crap. Journalist should only be able to state facts, not their opinions that they think are true.

    Many people seem to view this movie according to their political orientation. To me it seems a thoughtful presentation of the facts from the viewpoint of the reporters for the Knight Ridder newspaper chain. It seemed a factual presentation, and was well done.
  • Hollywood dime-store liberalism at it’s worst.
