Ghosts Of Abu Ghraib (2007)
Award winning documentary filmmaker Rory Kennedy explores the human and
political consequences of one of the most bitter scandals of the war in
Iraq in this feature. In the 1960′s, a prison was built in Abu Ghraib,
an Iraqi city west of Baghdad, and during the regime of Saddam Hussein
it became a center of torture and abuse where political dissidents were
subjected to agonizing punishment or death.
Following the United States invasion of Iraq in 2003, the prison was taken over by American military authorities, and was used as a holding facility for prisoners of war and suspected terrorists captured by U.S. forces.
The prison's reputation as a site of widespread abuse rose again when journalists discovered photographs of Iraqi prisoners being tortured and humiliated in an ugly variety of ways by American soldiers, a scandal which had a major impact on international thinking about the war.
Ghosts of Abu Ghraib offers an in-depth look at the story behind the abuse of Iraqi prisoners, featuring interviews with observers on both sides of the national divide. Ghosts of Abu Ghraib received its world premiere in 2007.
