A stunning inquiry into the suspicious death of an Afghani taxi driver at Bagram air base in 2002, Alex Gibney’s Academy Award-winning documentary 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 U.S. government. 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 reveals how the current administration has systematically betrayed the very ideals it professes to uphold.
