ABOUT THE FILM:

THE ROAD TO FALLUJAH follows the story of Mark Manning, the only westerner to live with the people of Fallujah, Iraq immediately following 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 and humanizing look at the issues in Iraq, breaking through the myths and misconceptions surrounding the violence and offering alternative solutions to war.

"ENLIGHTENING" - Variety

Named "ONE OF THE DOCUMENTARIES TO WATCH" by the Los Angeles Times
