Mission Accomplished

Sean Langan's documentary Mission Accomplished is comprised primarily of Langan's travels through Iraq a few months after President Bush declared that the end of major combat operations had been reached. Langan includes footage of firefights and suicide bombers, as well as interviews with those who have taken up arms in an attempt to get the United States out of their country. Armed with just a camera, Langan witnesses insurgent attacks first-hand, survives a mob frenzy, secures secret meetings with hooded resistance fighters, and obtains chilling footage of a suicide bomber's preparations and attack on a bridge manned by US soldiers. The result is a stirring account of just how far we are from a true proclamation in Iraq of Mission Accomplished.
