Ghosts of Abu Ghraib




Ghosts of Abu Ghraib (2007)
--Rory Kennedy
Documentary.
I saw this too long ago to really remember most of the details. It was, obviously, about the Abu Ghraib scandal that involved prison guards taking pictures will abusing inmates (pictures that I'm not going to post in this review because, honestly, I really, really don't want to ever look at them again). This film includes interviews with a few of the main people who did the actual picture-taking, wherein they explain the context and their supposed reasoning for doing what they did. A lot of other people who had insider knowledge (by this I mean who were there and/or who witnessed) were also interviewed. All I can really say is that this was a really good, informative film and that everyone should watch it.

Wow sounds good. I didn't know there was a documentary on this. I should add it to my queue even though I know it will take a lot for me to be in the mood for that sort of thing.
