Filmmaker Errol Morris (Gates of Heaven, The Thin Blue Line) takes an unflinching look at the Abu Ghraib prison scandal while meditating on the frightening side effects of the War on Terror in a thought-provoking documentary from Participant Productions (An Inconvenient Truth). ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Morris smartly does not ameliorate anybody's culpability, but instead demonstrates that those involved are but cogs in a larger machine, of which major figures in the Bush administration and in the military are at the controls. A must-see dissection of the human costs of the Iraq invasion. |
