THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WAR

A feature adaptation of James Bamford’s National Magazine Award-winning Rolling Stone article

In the aftermath of September 11, secretive Washington political consultant John Rendon receives millions in government contracts to wage an unprecedented propaganda campaign against Iraq. Working at the intersection of intelligence, public relations and the news media, Rendon helps transform questionable claims and manufactured intelligence into a persuasive case for war — demonstrating how perception itself can become a weapon.

Published by Rolling Stone in 2005, James Bamford’s investigation won the 2006 National Magazine Award for Reporting and was selected for The Best American Magazine Writing 2006.

Daniel Shafer developed the feature adaptation with Occupant Entertainment and screenwriter Dan Pyne (THE SUM OF ALL FEARS, FRACTURE).
