Famed Charles Manson prosecutor and New York Times bestselling author Vincent Bugliosi makes the most powerful, explosive, and thought-provoking argument of his storied career. In "The Prosecution of an American President", Bugliosi presents a meticulously researched legal case that proves George W. Bush took our nation to war in Iraq under false pretenses and is therefore, under the law, guilty of murder for the deaths of 4,500 young American soldiers who fought and died there. Bush's unlawful war also cost the United States over a trillion dollars; alienated many of our allies; caused the deaths of over 100,000 innocent Iraqi men, women, and children; and pushed a previously tranquil nation into unending civil war, atrocities and chaos. As a prosecutor dedicated to seeking justice, Bugliosi delivers a non-partisan argument based on hard facts and pure objectivity. This searing indictment also outlines a legally credible pathway to holding our highest government officials accountable for their actions, thereby creating a framework for future occupants of the Oval Office. Ultimately, Bugliosi calls for the United States to return to the great nation it once was.

| Long Island PressPrairie MillerThere's a joke in the nazis on the moon sci-fi satire Iron Sky that the only fair fight the US ever had in its many assaults and invasions around the world, was with Hitler's Germany. Which is no laughing matter for Vincent Bugliosi or this documentary. |
| The New York TimesAndy WebsterThere is no mistaking Mr. Bugliosi's conviction, nor the thoroughness of his research, which largely concerns the Bush administration's claims of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Prosecution of an American President demonstrates that you can be deeply sympathetic to a film's arguments and still come away feeling unconvinced. |
| Village VoiceMichael NordineSo unabashedly one-sided that the documentary is problematic even when the facts and figures check out. |
| User ReviewMarvz RDespite the incendiary way the film is put together, Vincent Bugliosi provides us with a cohesive argument against the invasion of Iraq, as well as a convincing legal theory for trying George W. Bush for murder. This is a must see for anyone who wants to end an unconscionable war - and bring the perpetrators to justice! |
| User ReviewDani VIncredible documentary, sheds a light on the Bush administration like never before. Will change your life and the way you view politics. MUST SEE. |
| User ReviewDavid LDetailed, with solid scholarship and a stirring case made by Bugliosi. This film will remind you about the Bush years, the way the administration distorted information from the intelligence community, and built a case to go to war with a nation that was not an imminent threat. For those of you who care about America's future, this is a must see. |
