Alex
Gibney (Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room) investigates the torture
and killing of an innocent Afghani taxi driver in this gripping probe
into reckless abuses of government power. Disturbing and incisive, the
Academy Award-winner Taxi To The Dark Side incorporates rare and
never-before-seen images from inside the Bagram Air Force Base in
Afghanistan and Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay prisons into its exposure
of the Bush administration's "global war on terror." (More film info).
