Taxi to the Dark Side
(English with Japanese subtitles)
Academy Award `08 for documentary
The truth behind Bagram Air Base, Abu Ghraib, and
Guantanamo Bay

December 1, 2002, Afghanistan - An innocent
taxi driver, Dilawar, carrying 3 passengers, was
stopped by US forces and taken to Bagram
Air Base. Held in extrajudicial detention and
brutally beaten to make
him confess to false charges, he died 5 days later.

Centering on the case of Dilawar, Taxi to the
Dark Side examines American policy and practice
on torture and interrogation. Through news footage,
photos, and interviews with top brass in the Bush
administration, interrogators, lawyers, and even
a former detainee, a story unfolds of extreme
abuse and misuse of authority...
