Taxi to the Dark Side

Informative but unsettling
patjohnson76 - wrote on 10/30/08

A documentary that looks at U.S. policies on torture with specifics on Bagram, Abu Graib, and Guantanamo Bay. The title refers to an Afghan man who, while driving his taxi, was captured and taken to a prison for terrorists and killed due to blunt force trauma by U.S. soldiers, though he had done nothing wrong. Uncomfortable at times, especially with the numerous photos of the abuse at Abu Graib and with chilling testimonials from the soldiers responsible. Not a happy watch, but interesting as it is probably the best documentary out there that details these terrible events.
