Taxi to the Dark Side

This Oscar nominee for Best Doc Feature examines the death of an Afghan taxi driver at Bagram Air Base from injuries inflicted by U.S. soldiers. In an unflinching look at the Bush administration’s policy on torture, filmmaker Alex Gibney takes us from a village in Afghanistan to Guantanamo and straight to the White House.

“If recent American history is ever going to be discussed with the necessary clarity and ethical rigor, this film will be essential.” (A.O. Scott, New York Times)

"It's about what we have done (or at least allowed to be done in our name), why we should be ashamed and angry, and whether we have the honor and decency to stop it. If America still has a soul, Alex Gibney is trying to save it." (Andrew O'Hehir, Salon)
