Ghosts of Abu Ghraib: A Campaign to Stop Torture

"There is no such thing as a little bit of torture." -- Alfred W. McCoy,
author "A Question of Torture: CIA Interrogation, from the Cold War to the War on Terror"

Rory Kennedy’s Emmy Award winning HBO documentary GHOSTS OF ABU GHRAIB is a groundbreaking examination of the psychological and political context in which torture and humiliation occurred at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. Through dozens of interviews the film exposes the truth: the responsibility for the abuses at the prison goes right to the top. Prison guards at Abu Ghraib were instructed to use torture tactics approved by the Bush administration.

The GHOSTS OF ABU GHRAIB Campaign is a national community engagement and action initiative aimed at ending U.S. policies and directives that sanction torture. The Campaign is a collaborative effort, directed by Working Films, in partnership with the American Civil Liberties Union, American Freedom Campaign, Amnesty International, Human Rights First, and the National Religious Campaign Against Torture. Together, we are utilizing the film as a tool to build the momentum and support needed to stop torture in America’s name.
