Taxi to the Darkside (2007)

So there you are, driving your cab in Afghanistan, when a squad of local militiamen hand you over to the Americans on trumped-up charges, and five days later you’ve been beaten to death in your cell.

That was the fate of Dilawar, and it’s the starting point for Alex Gibney’s exposé of torture tactics in America’s War on Terror.

With exhaustive exposition allied to a fine sense of moral outrage, this is another important addition to the canon of modern war docs.
