Starz Cinema Presents World Television Premiere of Robert Greenwald's Controversial Documentary Iraq For Sale

Views and Insight From Greenwald Shown After Premiere

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., June 13 /PRNewswire/ -- War is Hell ... but it's also a business and mammoth moneymaker, according to acclaimed filmmaker Robert Greenwald. On Saturday, July 14 at 10:00 p.m. (et/pt), Starz Cinema presents the World Television Premiere of Greenwald's Iraq For Sale, his hard-hitting examination delving into private companies who acquired huge military contracts, making billions of dollars without competitive bidding; how they overcharged the government for inferior work; failed to properly protect these workers; and recklessly supplied the soldiers with contaminated water, to name just a few of Greenwald's claims. He will introduce the film and will return at the end for an exclusive interview.

Iraq For Sale profiles individuals and families affected by the actions of these contractors and an example of a whistleblower losing his job after questioning their unethical operations.

"In a day and age filled with fearmongering and cowardice, I am pleased that Starz is standing up and allowing this film to reach a wide audience," says Greenwald. "Watch it, discuss it, debate it, and then most important ... take action to fix the wrongs ... that is Democracy."

Greenwald's previous documentaries include: Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price, Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism, and the award-winning drama The Burning Bed.
