This film reveals the extent of the depths the CIA sunk to in its fight against terrorism and it's losing battle to hold on to it's founding fathers values.
The film however leaves the viewer believing that the CIA (and larger extent the US) is willing to learn from its mistakes and grow as a nation.
Unfortunately this isn't occuring. After the release of the report the adminstration barred prosecuting any CIA staff due to a backlash by the military, CIA and NSA. VP Cheney stated the tortures were "absolutely, totally justified".
The only CIA employee connected to its interrogation program to go to prison was a whistle-blower who was caught trying to reveal the abuses to reporters. In 2016 the CIA's Inspector General's office told Congress it accidentally deleted its only copy of the full report, both in electronic and hard disk forms.
The CIA still run a website portraying their innocence of the allegations.
A brilliantly acted film demonstrating the nature of the issues surrounding torture, with characters presenting views from both sides of the story. Viewers are now encouraged to look deeper at the real-life continuation of events and ongoing struggle.
