It’s the dirty little secret of the War on Terror: all bets are off, and
almost anything goes. We have fundamentally changed the rules of the game
and the rules of engagement. Today drone strikes, night raids, and U.S.
government–condoned torture occur in corners across the globe, generating
unprecedented civilian casualties. Investigative reporter Jeremy Scahill
(author of *BLACKWATER: The Rise of the World's Most Mercenary Army*)
traces the rise of the Joint Special Operations Command, the most secret
fighting force in U.S. history, exposing operations carried out by men who
do not exist on paper and will never appear before Congress. No target is
off-limits for the JSOC “kill list,” even a U.S. citizen. Director Richard
Rowley takes us on a chilling ride with whistle-blower Scahill. Dirty Wars
is a battle cry for the soul and conscience of an America few of us know
exists.

*"Astonishingly hard-hitting... jawdropping... has the power to pry open
government lockboxes."
- Variety

**"The flood of theatrical documentaries about the War on Terror... has
slowed to a trickle since President Obama took office, which makes this
uncompromising exposé from reporter Jeremy Scahill even more important."
-J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader**

"An exposé of practices that need -- demand -- exposing." -Peter Rainer,
Christian Science Monitor

"Pessimistic, grimly outraged and utterly riveting ..." -Stephen Holden,
New York*
