      abstract = {The "Sunni Triangle" in the center of Iraq is an area  inhabited by five million people, united by the same  religion and the same social structure based on an ancient  tribal system. Under Saddam Hussein, the Sunni tribes  enjoyed special favors and privileges. He made them the  backbone of his state, his party and his army. This film  explores what has become of the Sunni tribes a year after  the end of Saddam s dictatorship. The filmmaker observes  their relationship with the U.S. forces in Falluja, the  heart of the the Iraqi insurgency. There, in the last  refuge of Saddam s former security apparatus, she meets  radical preachers, former officers of Saddam s Secret  Service and others who began the revolt against US forces.  These men know they are protected by Sunni tribal tradition  which assists and supports them and punishes those they  consider traitors with death. Also interviewed is Sheik  Sabah who has tried to help the Americans understand how to  be more effective in dealing with the Sunnis. The film also  captures the cycle of violence escalating between Sunni and  Shia muslims as assassinations occur on both sides. The  American in charge of the area, Colonel Drinkwine,  discusses the difficulties he faces as he tries to take  control of what is actually a civil war. Other American  officers and former CIA agents discuss Saddam s dangerous  legacy which threatens the stability and future of Iraq.},
