TAXI TO THE DARK SIDE, the latest prize-winning documentary from Oscar-nominee Alex Gibney, confirms his standing as one of the foremost non-fiction filmmakers working today. A stunning inquiry into the suspicious death of an Afghani taxi driver at Bagram air base in 2002, the film is a fastidiously assembled, uncommonly well-researched examination of how an innocent civilian was apprehended, imprisoned, tortured, and ultimately murdered by the greatest democracy on earth. Intermingling documents and records of the incident with candid testimony from eyewitnesses and participants, the film uncovers an inescapable link between the tragic incidents that unfolded in Bagram and the policies made at the very highest level of the United States government in Washington, D.C. Combining the cool detachment of a forensic expert with the heated indignation of a proud American who holds his country to a high standard, Gibney's film reveals how the Bush administration has systematically betrayed the very ideals it professes to uphold.

This film has been nominated for an Oscar.

2. I find it very unusual

that the videos I post rarely show up on the homepage. I would really like to know the reason for this. Not being paranoid, just curious. What does a person have to do to get their video on the homepage?

5. I saw this movie on Friday night. Very disturbing

I think there should be discussions at the theater immediately following each showing. I knew some of the stuff presented in the movie but this movie does a good job of "connecting the dots" ALL the way to George W Bush and his administration. When Democrats continue to vote to provide additional funding to continue the occupation of Iraq they are supporting torture. Hillary and Obama share in the blame for this continued occupation and continued torture.
