Winner of a 2008 Academy Award®, this acclaimed film takes a disturbing in-depth look at the questionable interrogation practices used by U.S. military guards on prisoners in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo Bay in the years following 9/11.
The Trailer
In the year following 9/11, the Bush Administration's promise to root out terrorists abroad took a perverse, unsettling turn, with the U.S. military embarking on a policy of humiliation and deprivation designed to get political prisoners to talk. The appallingly inhumane tactics used by military prison guards in Abu Ghraib, Bagram and Guantanamo Bay flaunted the Geneva Conventions while killing untold numbers of prisoners - including innocents like Dilawar, a young Afghan taxi driver whose only "crime" was to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. This is the story of how America lost its dignity in its zeal to win the War on Terrorism: Taxi to the Dark Side. Premieres Monday, September 29 at 9pm ET/PT. Read more.
