TAXI TO THE DARK SIDE, the latest prize-winning documentary from Oscar-nominee Alex Gibney, confirms his standing as one of the foremost non-fiction filmmakers working today. A stunning inquiry into the suspicious death of an Afghani taxi driver at Bagram air base in 2002, the film is a fastidiously assembled, uncommonly well-researched examination of how an innocent civilian was apprehended, imprisoned, tortured, and ultimately murdered by the greatest democracy on earth. Intermingling documents and records of the incident with candid testimony from eyewitnesses and participants, the film uncovers an inescapable link between the tragic incidents that unfolded in Bagram and the policies made at the very highest level of the United States government in Washington, D.C. Combining the cool detachment of a forensic expert with the heated indignation of a proud American who holds his country to a high standard, Gibney's film reveals how the Bush administration has systematically betrayed the very ideals it professes to uphold.

  • Don't be glib henrymercy08.

    First, see the movie. Second, upholding Geneva & not torturing our prisoners is vital not only to Human Rights worldwide, but it's absolutely paramount to ensuring that our men & women aren't tortured overseas if captured. Yes, I know some soldiers/contractors have been dragged and burned in the streets of Bagdahd. Doesn't mean we should do the same.

    The US needs moral authority to conduct the global war on terror, but, sadly, we've squandered it.

  • To those who voted for Bush, shame on you! This man is a direct contradiction to the very things you believe in, especially if they're Christian priciples!

  • Sometimes what may seem right to you may be wrong to someone else.

  • @poughkeepsiejohn I am a Christian. I believe God will judge him for those war crimes. I do not believe any State or government can do justice that is only for God, here on earth we all serve in self interest first of all. I cannot say he is a Christian or not but I can say with certainty that he was not led by God.

  • George Bush is so god damn stupid.. I feel a bit sorry for him. Poor guy doens´t really now what to do..
