In 1999, Rafed Ahmed Alwan fled from Iraq via Morocco to Germany. There he ended up in the bureaucratic merry-go-round (and in a glorified internment camp). From the moment he revealed that he was working as a chemical engineer in an Iraqi factory, he was subjected to frequent interrogations. The information Rafed provided played a key role in the United States' decision to invade Iraq - after all, there were weapons of mass destruction there. When no evidence of this was found, Rafed Ahmed Alwan (code name “Curveball”) was given the black spot. In this documentary he tells his story, but how seriously can you take someone who confesses a huge lie? Bittner asks pressing questions, but would probably have done well to also interview people who could weigh Rafed's testimony. Moreover, the German dubbing is quite disturbing for non-German viewers.
