The shocking, riveting inside story of one of the biggest cover-ups in US military history. You thought you knew about the Iraq War? Everything you knew is about to change. Forever.  Written and narrated by filmmaker Michael Epstein, Murder in House Two is about what really happened in the Haditha Massacre of November 2005, when 24 unarmed Iraqi civilians – including women and young children – were shot multiple times by a group of US Marines. But it’s about much more, too: about one man’s fight for justice, about how the US government tried to prevent the truth ever getting out, about paranoia and persistence and an unshakeable belief in what is wrong and what is right.

Important

This is such a difficult but engaging listen. but that’s how it should be. It’s so important that this story has been told and that we are aware of things like this.

A must listen to

I think in our current times, we need to understand our own failures in the west. This podcast holds a mirror up for us all to look out ourselves in. It is brilliantly reported and I have not listened to something as engrossing since The Ratline
