Film director Alex Gibney turns his lens to torture
Cross-posted at Endtorture.net:
After examining corruption at energy giant Enron, director Alex Gibney has turned his lens on what he calls the "corruption of American values" in a new film about U.S. torture in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo Bay. This looks poised to be an extremely informative and balanced film, and reflects two of the crucial facets of the End Torture Campaign and Americantorture; in Gibney's own words: "I ended up doing a film about corruption - corruption of the rule of law and corruption of American values ... What I was most surprised by was just how dark the dark side was."
