War on Terror doc at Barcelona Human Rights Festival
The 10th Barcelona Human Rights Film Festival presents today the documentary by producer and director Sebastian j. f. “War on Terror”.
The doc shows how radically the Bush Administration undermined civil liberties and the rule of law. The treatment of detainees, the use of propaganda, as well as Orwellian language like 'illegal enemy combatants' and 'enhanced interrogation methods', lay the groundwork for a journey to the dark side of human nature. Former Guantánamo detainees Murat Kurnaz and Mustafa Ait Idir, Amy Goodman from the award-winning news program Democracy Now! and Professor Manfred Nowak, during those critical years United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture, draw a comprehensive image of the new realities constructed and imposed by the Bush Administration.
