Taxi To The Dark Side

Academy Award Winner 2008 – Best Documentary Feature

still from Taxi to the Dark Side

From the director of Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room comes this in-depth look at the mistreatment of prisoners of the U.S. in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo Bay, focusing on an innocent taxi driver in Afghanistan who was tortured and killed in 2002. The film uses never-before-seen footage, interviews with leading politicians and activists, and comment from soldiers who were there. Taxi To The Dark Side is a unique ride into the murky world of terrorism and the U.S. response post 9/11 to dealing with the threat.
