From the director of "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room," Alex Gibney's TAXI TO THE DARK SIDE is a gripping investigation into the reckless abuse of power by the Bush Administration. By probing the homocide of an innocent taxi driver at the Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan, the film exposes a worldwide policy of detention and interrogation that comdones torture and the abrogation of human rights. This distrubing and often brutal film is the most incisive examination to date of the Bush Administration's willingness, in prosecution of the "war on terror," to undermine the essence of the rule of law. The film asks and answers a key question: what happens when a few men expand the wartime powers of the executive to undermine the very principles on which the United States was founded.
