Full Plot Details

Using the torture and death in 2002 of an innocent Afghan taxi driver as the touchstone, this film examines changes after 9/11 in U.S. policy toward suspects in the war on terror. Soldiers, their attorneys, one released detainee, U.S. Attorney John Yoo, news footage and photos tell a story of abuse at Bagram Air Base, Abu Ghraib, and Guantanamo Bay. From Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Gonzalez came unwritten orders to use any means necessary. The CIA and soldiers with little training used sleep deprivation, sexual assault, stress positions, waterboarding, dogs and other terror tactics to seek information from detainees. Many speakers lament the loss of American ideals in pursuit of security.

Movie Reviews

Film.com - 10/10 by Jonathan F. RichardsTaxi to the Dark Side joins a growing list of outspoken documentaries that question the rationale and conduct of America's presence in Iraq and Afghanistan, and our willingness to destroy freedom in order to save it.
Chicago Reader - 10/10 by J. R. JonesLike the Iraq war documentary No End in Sight, this movie about the U.S. military's systematic torture of terror suspects is a triumph not of reporting but of synthesis.
About.com - 10/10 by Jennifer MerinA shocking expose about the American military's use of torture to get confessions--not always truthful ones--from prisoners suspected of terrorism. This is the kind of film that can make a difference!
Empire Magazine - 10/10 by Will LawrenceAn unflinching documentary that exposes one of the darkest chapters in American history.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel - 10/10 by Duane Dudek[Director] Gibney posits that reliable but time-consuming interrogation techniques, which required skill and patience, have been replaced by procedures one person describes as 'this side of the Marquis de Sade.'
New York Times - 10/10 by Caryn JamesGracefully weaving together interviews (some with the soldiers convicted of the beating), fresh images and official photographs, it suggests why so many politically themed fiction films have failed.
San Diego Union-Tribune - 10/10 by Arthur SalmA methodically constructed, step-by-step detailing of how the Bush administration's policy of condoning torture trickled -- flowed, really; poured -- down the chain of command to inundate the largely untrained troops in the field.
San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Tamara StrausWill go down in film history as a damning historical document of the Bush administration's wartime expansion of executive powers.
Seattle Times - 10/10 by Tom KeoghExhaustively researched and shattering documentary by Alex Gibney.
The Tyee (British Columbia) - 10/10 by Dorothy WoodendTaxi to the Dark Side. . .examines the war in Iraq with clear-eyed rage.
