What We Think

No End in Sight is more of a political documentary than a bastion of wokeness. While it delivers a particular point of view, it’s not obsessed with identity issues or cultural revisionism. Still, its ideological uniformity bumps it above the lowest scores for wokeness, but it’s a far cry from today’s Hollywood standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

No End in Sight is a documentary about the Iraq War, focusing on decisions made by U.S. officials. It sticks largely to facts and interviews rather than shoehorning in identity politics or prioritizing character diversity over substance. The main aim is political critique, not forced representation or the elevation of identity over narrative clarity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film is critical of U.S. leadership and certain policies, it doesn’t go out of its way to attack traditional cultural or moral values. Its focus is on political and strategic missteps, not undermining religion, family, or gender roles. Any subversion is indirect, contextualized within its critique of the war.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The film is certainly one-sided, primarily pushing a critical narrative of the Iraq War without much attempt to sympathetically present alternative views or arguments from the pro-war perspective. Alternative voices exist but are largely framed as part of the failure, leading to a sense of ideological uniformity.
