Project Summary
In a revealing portrayal, young American soldiers in 2006 are thrust into an unexpected role: guarding Saddam Hussein before his execution. Living alongside him in a former palace, they grapple with their preconceptions about the judicial process, Saddam's character, and the ethics of war. Despite never doubting his responsibility for heinous crimes, their intimate conversations unveil unexpected facets of his psyche, challenging media stereotypes.
