Taxi to the Dark Side

synopsis


Over one hundred prisoners have died in suspicious circumstances in' U.S. custody during the "war on terror". Taxi to the Dark Side takes an in-depth look at one case: an innocent Afghan taxi driver called Dilawar who was wrongly arrested and sent to Bagram Prison. Five days after his arrest, Dilawar died in his isolation cell. His death came within a week of another death of a Bagram detainee. An investigation revealed that Dilawar was a victim of homicide - killed as a result of brutal beatings by US soldiers. The documentary, by award-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney, follows the trail of the murder - and the policies that led to it - from Afghanistan, to Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo, right up to the White House. The film documents the shocking tale of how a few men in the Bush Administration, by embracing a policy of torture, undermined the very values and the rule of law they claimed to defend in the "war on terror." Taxi to the Dark Side is the definitive exploration of the introduction of torture as an interrogation technique in U.S. facilities, and the role played by key figures of the Bush Administration in the process. *MR
