The New Yorker full statement: "The New Yorker and In the Dark took great care to get permission from the surviving families before publishing photos from Haditha. A legal representative for the families, who is also a close relative of Safa Younis, confirmed that he had requested and received permission from Safa Younis to publish the photos taken in the Younis family house. Additionally, Safa Younis was among 17 surviving family members who signed a document translated into Arabic asking the U.S. military to release photos of the killing sites to the lead journalist on the reporting team. We honored surviving family members' requests to refrain from publishing certain photos and made every effort to present these images, which are deeply disturbing but newsworthy, to the public in a manner that was respectful to the victims of the killings."

For twenty years, the United States Marine Corps has tried to bury the truth about Haditha.

In 2005, 24 civilians were killed by a squad of United States Marines in the Iraqi city of Haditha, a massacre that became one of the most notorious and controversial incidents of the war. What followed was a years-long battle over what really happened, who would be held accountable, and how far the Marine Corps would go to protect itself.

At the center of the story is NCIS Special Agent Michael Maloney, the most senior forensic consultant assigned to the case. As Maloney examined the evidence, he discovered that prosecutors hid from him a key eyewitness, sponsored perjured testimony, and granted immunity to Marines who were likely guilty of murder. When Maloney spoke up, he came under intense political pressure to alter his findings and his testimony in the case. 

Now, for the first time, the complete story is finally being told. Based on over 100 hours of documentary footage shot without the government's knowledge or permission, Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Michael Epstein delivers a gripping investigative series that finally reveals the truth about the Haditha Massacre and the government cover-up that followed.
