Scope and content

This disturbing and often brutal film is the most incisive examination to date of the Bush Administration's willingness to undermine human rights in its prosecution of the ‘war on terror'. By probing the torture and death of an innocent taxi driver in 2002 at the Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan, the film exposes a policy of detention and interrogation that condones torture and grants immunity to government officials for crimes against humanity. It included never-before-seen images from inside the Bagram, Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay prisons.
