Description: Wrote The New York Times, “If recent American history is ever going to be discussed with the necessary clarity and ethical rigor, this film will be essential.”
Written and directed by Alex Gibney, the film begins with the story of an Afghan taxi driver named Dilawar who was detained by the U.S. military in 2002. Never charged with a crime or linked to Al Qaeda, Dilawar was subjected to inhumane treatment ranging from sleep deprivation to severe physical abuse. He died in custody at Bagram Air Base.
