Local Amnesty International activists will present a screening of the acclaimed documentary "\;Torturing Democracy"\; at the Oak Street Cinema on Nov 4th at 7 pm. \; Discussion to follow the film.
"\;Torturing Democracy"\; relies on the documentary record to connect the dots in an investigation of harsh interrogations of prisoners in U.S. custody - and points straight to the top. Timely and powerful\, at its heart the film is about the rule of law - and how the government pushed it aside despite the fierce resistance of many on the inside.
