The Forever Prisoner

From acclaimed director Alex Gibney (THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY, The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley), HBO’s THE FOREVER PRISONER reveals the origins of the clandestine operations that led the United States, in the “War on Terror,” on a path of cruelty, deceit, and self-deception. With new revelations, captivating, and first-hand accounts from the first two interrogators to question Abu Zubaydah, the film uncovers the incompetent and deceptive practices that the U.S. government followed to expedite and legalize enhanced interrogation techniques in the aftermath of 9/11. As a result, torture as a government policy was authorized by the United States for the first time in history.
