Review of Standard Operating Procedure (2008) by Ojas V — 23 Oct 2008
Not easy to watch, but it is still one of the most important films of 2008. The film is tremendously engaging and educational. We only got a fraction of the story in the media, and Errol Morris' choice of just letting the soldiers that he could get to interview simply speak about their experiences in the prison gives it a whole new perspective.
Morris, doesn't really take a stand about what happened other that the fact that the line between a "criminal act" or a "standard operating procedure" is not clear at all. Also, to say that this event was isolated to a few soldiers is a complete lie.
There certainly were high ranking military officials responsible, whether directly or indirectly, and they have yet to answer for it.
