Iraq, 1990 to 2026. Nearly every dollar Iraq earns comes from oil and passes through the state; this is the story of the people at that tap: a tax authority's 247 checks to five companies, a defense minister convicted in absentia and amnestied, bomb detectors bought at 37,000 pounds that cost 150 to make, a bank buying dollars with strangers' identity cards, oil relabeled at Khor al-Zubair, and the Green Zone sealed at night in 2026. It asks who paid. Covers Nour Zuhair Jassim and Al-Qant, Raed Jouhi and the General Commission for Taxes, Hazim al-Shaalan and the Defense Ministry, Abdul Falah al-Sudani and the Ministry of Trade, James McCormick and the ADE 651, Hamad al-Moussawi and Al-Huda Bank, and Ali Maarij al-Bahadli and VS Oil Terminal.
