It was seriously pro-occupation and pro-imperialist. The naivety of the director and many of those appearing in the film was depressing in that they still believe the occupying forces are only in Iraq for the good and well-being of the locals. Do they not see the blindingly obvious evidence to the contrary? Perhaps it is so blindingly obvious it has affected their sight.
