This documentary examines the torture practices of the United States after 9/11 through the story of an innocent Afghan taxi driver who was tortured and killed in 2002. It uses his case to investigate changes in US policy that led to widespread abuse of detainees in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Guantanamo Bay. Through interviews with soldiers, detainees, and lawyers, it reveals how unofficial orders from top officials allowed the CIA and untrained soldiers to use sleep deprivation, waterboarding, stress positions, and other torture tactics against many detainees, compromising American ideals. The film won an Oscar and several other awards for its critical look at these post-9/11 interrogation practices.
