An investigation into the killings of 24 Iraqi civilians by U.S. Marines resulted in no prison time.

SECTIONS

On November 19, 2005, a group of U.S. Marines killed twenty-four civilians in Haditha, Iraq. The incident led to one of the most high-profile war-crimes prosecutions in American history. But no one was ever held accountable for the killings. An interactive documentary reconstructs the events of that day to understand what really happened.
