This new film exposes the scandal behind the torture scandal -- how
psychologists and physicians implemented and covered up the torture of
detainees in US controlled military prisons. The stories of four detainees and
the doctors involved in their abuse show how essential doctors have been to the
torture program. Producer/Director Martha Davis (Interrogation Psychologists)
spent four years investigating the controversy and produced the documentary
with an award-winning team that includes Oscar-winners Mark Jonathan Harris (Writer)

Photography). Editor M. Trevino (Hidden Battles) led the post-production
team of the feature-length, HD film that is earning great reviews at initial
screenings.
