In “Endgame,” filmmaker Michael Kirk and his team investigated how the early mandate to create the conditions for a quick exit of the American military from Iraq led to chaos, failure, and sectarian strife. The documentary traced why President George W. Bush decided to risk what military planners once warned could be the worst way to fight in Iraq — door-to-door — and assessed the likelihood of its success.
