The story

What Is War of Lies About?

The premise of War of Lies without spoilers.

The film explores the story of an Iraqi refugee whose claims regarding portable weapons of mass destruction were passed between the BND, MI6, and CIA. This information was later utilized by the US government to justify the 2003 invasion of Iraq, a conflict now recognized as being founded on false pretenses. Rafed Ahmed Alwan became the focus of media scrutiny, while he maintains he played a role in removing Saddam Hussein. The documentary investigates how Alwan seemingly deceived global intelligence agencies and the truth behind this pivotal deception.
