Taxi to the Dark Side(2008)
In 2002, a young cab driver picked up a few passengers near his home in Afghanistan... He never returned
Taxi to the Dark Side is a documentary that investigates U.S. torture practices in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Guantanamo Bay following the September 11 attacks. The film centers on Dilawar, an Afghan taxi driver arrested in 2002 and subjected to brutal interrogation at Bagram Air Base, where he died in custody despite being innocent of any wrongdoing. Director Alex Gibney traces how a single case of abuse became emblematic of a wider systemic failure, examining the chain of command and policy decisions that enabled torture to become standard practice. Through interviews, declassified documents, and firsthand accounts, the film exposes the human cost of post-9/11 security measures and questions the moral and legal implications of America's war on terror. A sobering, meticulously researched examination of institutional accountability and the consequences of unchecked power.
