Documentary Description
Filmed in France, Israel, USA, Algeria, Argentina,
Uruguay, South Africa and the UK, this disturbing and candid BBC
documentary explores the history of modern interrogation techniques and
the rise of modern torture using revealing interviews with state
interrogators and state torturers.
The legacy of this history continues to shapes our
present, especially in the United States, and some of these techniques
have now become routine in the war on terror – be it the use of dogs,
water-boarding, or sexual humiliation.
This long, unbroken line of inhuman cruelty connects
Nazi Germany to Abu Ghraib, and is an essential issue in today’s
political landscape.
