DOCTORS OF THE DARK SIDE
Martha Davis / US / 2011 / 72 ' / English
Doctors of the Dark Side exposes the scandal behind the torture scandal — how psychologists and physicians implemented and covered up the torture of detainees in US controlled military prisons. The stories of four detainees and the doctors involved in their abuse show how essential doctors have been to the torture program. Director Martha Davis (Interrogation Psychologists) spent four years investigating the controversy and produced the documentary with an award-winning team that includes Oscar-winners Mark Jonathan Harris (Writer) and Mercedes Ruehl (Narrator), and Emmy-winner Lisa Rinzler (Director of Photography). Editor M. Trevino (Hidden Battles) led the post-production team of the feature length documentary.
Security certificate detainee Mohammad Mahjoub will be at the screening to talk about his experience with detention and torture. Mr. Mahjoub has been held by the Canadian government for over 12 years without charge, after escaping the Mubarak regime as a torture survivor. He is one of the 'secret trial five' - one of three Muslim men still held under a racist security certificate. Visit www.supportmahjoub.org to learn how you can help.
