The 80-minute HBO film covers the familiar photos of torture at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison, and is intended for mature audiences only. The images and some of the interviews are extremely intense. This part of the nation-wide project organized by the National Religious Campaign Against Torture (NRCAT), with 1000 congregations participating. The local sponsors have agreed to participate in this Spotlight on Torture to help people of faith deepen their understanding of the nature of U.S.-sponsored torture and also to strengthen their resolve to end it.
