57 / 75 THE film follows Mark Manning, the only westerner to live with the people of Fallujah in Iraq immediately after the November 2004 battle that destroyed their ancient and holy city.
With unique access to both sides of the conflict, the film gives a voice to the people directly involved and affected by the war and takes an in-depth human look at the issues in Iraq, breaking many myths in the process.
Manning leaves his job as a diver on the offshore oilrigs of California and travels to the Middle East. He meets and joins forces with an Iraqi humanitarian aid worker and journalist, Rana Al-Aiouby. Together, they travel into the heart of the combat zone, un-embedded and without security, to document the reality of the war.
As one Military Commander said, "As went Fallujah, so went Iraq." THE ROAD TO FALLUJAH gives a detailed analysis of the circumstances that led to the siege of the town, the actual events of the siege itself, and the consequences of the battle that have shaped the present situation in Iraq and beyond.
A film by Conception Media.
