Review of Taxi to the Dark Side (2008) by Daniel H — 22 Dec 2008
Despite its name and apparent focus, this movie uses the single atrocity of an Afghani taxi driver unjustly jailed, tortured and killed as a springboard into the entire military incarceration system during in the last 10 years.
Limited yet lucid (though occasionally one-sided) interviews reveal significant context behind the all-too-familiar Abu Ghraib "scandal." Given the vast scope of the Iraq-Afghan conflict, this film fits perfectly in with its peers in highlighting specific parts of a much wider war with little partisan namecalling or sabre-rattling... and thus doing sober justice to its subject.
