Ghosts of Abu Ghraib

Through startling interviews with perpetrators, witnesses and victims, Ghost of Abu Ghraib examines the abuses that occurred in the fall of 2003 at the notorious Iraqi prison.The film probes the psychology of how typical Americans came to commit these atrocious acts and, on a parallel track, explores the policy decisions that eroded our compliance with the Geneva Conventions and contributed to making the abuse a reality.Ultimately, the film asks what these events say about America, our government, our military and our human nature.
