Deze documentaire geeft de kijker een blik in de levens van de soldaten, vrachtwagenchauffeurs, weduwen en kinderen wiens levens veranderd zijn door de heropbouw van Irak. Daarnaast ontsluiert deze documentaire de connecties die er bestaan tussen private ondernemingen die werkzaam zijn in Irak en de Amerikaanse overheid.

Documentary portraying the actions of U.S. corporate contractors in the U.S.-Iraq war. Interviews with employees and former employees of such companies as Halliburton, CACI, and KBR suggest that government cronyism is behind apparent "sweetheart" deals that give such contractors enormous freedom to profit from supplying support and material to American troops while providing little oversight. Survivors of employees who were killed discuss the claim that the companies cared more for profit than for the welfare of their own workers, and soldiers indicate that the quality of services provided is sub-standard and severely in contradiction to the comparatively huge profits being generated. Also depicted are the unsuccessful attempts by the filmmakers to get company spokesmen to respond to the charges made by the interviewees.

Privatização descarada da guerra. Iraq for Sale é um documentário impressionante sobre como corporações como a Halliburton, ligada ao vice-presidente norte-americano Dick Cheney, estão lucrando de forma extremamente desonesta com a Guerra do Iraque. A terceirização de serviços péssimamente prestados e superfaturados não inclui apenas atividades acessórias… além de providenciar serviços de alimentação, escritório, lavanderia, transporte, etc, civis estiveram envolvidos nos interrogatórios e torturas dos prisioneiros de Abu Ghraib.
