Democracy Now! speaks with writer/director Alex Gibney about his Academy Award-nominated documentary, Taxi to the Dark Side, which looks at the torture practices that the United States used in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo by following the tragic fate of an innocent taxi driver who was tortured and killed in Afghanistan in 2002.

In anticipation of the Oscars, Taxi to the Dark Side is playing in limited release nationally. You can click here to see if it's playing near you. No word on its DVD release date.
