Taxi To The Dark Side

Taxi To The Dark Side won the academy award for best documentary feature in 2007. Telling a different side to the story of the War On Terror the main focus of the film is on an Afghan taxi driver called Dilawar who in 2002 died when in the custody of the American army. Indeed he was the second Afghan in a week to die while in custody at a detention facility called Parwan in Afghanistan. The deaths were originally reported as by "Natural Causes" but was there more here than meets the eye ? In this stunning and shocking documentary we learn about a culture of mistreatment and torture on Afghan prisoners and a top level cover up when the torture went too far.
