Doctors of the Dark Side (2011)

In the gripping documentary, Doctors of the Dark Side, the veil is lifted on the disturbing participation of physicians and psychologists in the torture of detainees, a hitherto unexplored facet in the realm of human rights violations. The narrative weaves through the haunting experiences of four detainees, underlining the chilling complicity of US Army and CIA doctors in implementing Enhanced Interrogation Techniques and concealing evidence of torture within the ominous walls of Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib. The film, a product of four years of meticulous research by Martha Davis, is steeped in interviews with a diverse array of experts from the medical, legal, and intelligence fields. These discussions, coupled with revelations from declassified government documents, meticulously unravel what is now known as the most shameful chapter in American medical ethics. This feature-length documentary, written by Oscar laureate, Mark Jonathan Harris, and captured in vivid detail by Emmy recipient, Lisa Rinzler, paints a harrowing portrait of how the torture machinery could not have functioned without the aid of these doctors. Doctors of the Dark Side is a potent exploration of the darkness that can descend when those entrusted with healing become agents of harm.
