"Doctors and Detainees" - A Feature Length Documentary in Development
From DoctorsAndDetainees.com:
Since 9/11, doctors have contributed to the torture and abuse of detainees through their collaboration with interrogators at Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib and CIA black sites. Are “interrogation doctors” at the forefront of disturbing new roles for psychologists, psychiatrists and physicians in national security intelligence?
I've been working really long hours to get this project moving forward and it's good to finally see progress. The website is up (created using an older version of iWeb flogged into submission) and we've been granted fiscal sponsorship by Arts Engine, Inc., which is a big deal because with their sponsorship all donations towards the completion of the film are now tax deductible.
And to keep up with the times, we can now be joined and tweeted on facebook and Twitter.
Now I'm off to work on getting those donations....
