2003 - Archive Researcher
The series uncovers the secrets of what went on inside Saddam's Iraq. It provides compelling human-interest stories that shine new light on recent events: sometimes shocking, but consistently informative and revelatory. It concentrates on the nature of Saddam Hussein's regime, and Arab and international attitudes towards it. What was Saddam's real relationship with his Arab neighbours, and what was theirs with him?

1. Saddam's Masks
This programme charts the course of Saddam the man: from humble background to total control of a country and its people; from a lavish lifestyle and opulent palaces to ignominious arrest by US forces from his final hiding place, a hole in the ground. The film is a penetrating psychological profile of how a person becomes a dictator. It shows how Saddam emerged as the real power and strong man of Iraq . Yet ultimately everything fell apart with his flight, as American tanks entered Baghdad.

Director: David Pearson

2. The Carrot and the Stick
Reports of Saddam's torturing and killings are well-known, but what has not been uncovered is the all-encompassing nature of his reign of fear and control. This programme tells the tales of ordinary people living in Saddam's Iraq , and how the regime maintained its iron grip on the entire population. It is only with the regime's fall and the discovery of the millions of files kept on every citizen that the extent of the government's tentacles can be revealed, their deeds exposed and the terror they inspired explained.

Director: Janet Harris

3. From Friend to Foe
This tells the story of the international community's dealings with Iraq from both a Western and Middle Eastern point of view. It features interviews with regional and world leaders, as well as those on the ground who saw the effects of the complicity of silence by foreign governments. The film includes interviews with intelligence agents who explain what was really going on, away from the public eye and behind the bland political statements.

Director: Tom Anstiss

4. Saddam's Legacy
Free from the ironclad repression of Saddam Hussein's Baathist regime, Iraq 's ethnic and sectarian groups are now clamouring to secure their position in the post-Saddam era. This programme portrays the demands and aspirations of Kurds, Turkomen and Shia and Sunni Arabs and concludes that liberation from Saddam has brought about not only a new era of opportunity, but also unforeseen prospects of uncertainty and instability.

Directors: Giles Trendle and Claudio von Planta
