"Director Alex Gibney investigates the torture and killing of an innocent Afghani taxi driver in this probe into abuses of government power.

""Using the torture and death in 2002 of an innocent Afghan taxi driver as the touchstone, this film examines changes after 9/11 in U.S. policy toward suspects in the war on terror. Soldiers, their attorneys, one released detainee, U.S. Attorney John Yoo, news footage and photos tell a story of abuse at Bagram Air Base, Abu Ghraib, and Guantanamo Bay. From Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Gonzalez came unwritten orders to use any means necessary. The CIA and soldiers with little training used sleep deprivation, sexual assault, stress positions, waterboarding, dogs and other terror tactics to seek information from detainees. Many speakers lament the loss of American ideals in pursuit of security." IMDB."@en

He was detained by the U.S military after picking up three passengers, and held in prison without trial. Five days after his arrest, Dilawar died in his Bagram prison cell. His death came within a week of another death of a Bagram detainee. The conclusion, with autopsy evidence, was that the former taxi driver and the detainee died due to sustained injuries inflicted at the prison by U.S. soldiers. The documentary shows how decisions taken at the pinnacle of power in the Bush Administration led directly to Dilawar's brutal death. The film documents how the former Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld, together with the White House legal team, were able to convince Congress to approve the use of torture against prisoners of war. Taxi to the Dark Side is the definitive exploration of the introduction of torture as an interrogation technique in U.S. facilities, and the role played by key figures of the Bush Administration in the process."

"Ein afghanischer Taxifahrer wird durch Zufall als gesuchter Terrorist verhaftet. Fünf Tage später stirbt er in der Bagram Air Base (Gefängnis der amerikanischen Einheiten Afghanistans) an den ihm zugefügten Misshandlungen. Dieser Film zeigt in eindringlichen Bildern, wie die Folter von der Bush-Regierung heimlich und leise legitimiert wurde [Süddeutsche Zeitung]."
"À l'automne 2001, sur la base aérienne militaire de Bagram, en Afghanistan, un chauffeur de taxi sans histoire est interrogé puis torturé par des soldats américains. Après quelques jours de ce régime, il succombe à ses blessures. Partant de cet événement, le documentariste Alex Gibney tente de faire la lumière sur les pratiques de séquestration et d'interrogatoires douteuses de l'armée américaine, depuis les attentats du 11 septembre 2001. D'Afghanistan, son enquête le conduit à la prison d'Abu Ghraib, en Irak, puis à la base militaire de Guantanamo, à Cuba. Chemin faisant, Gibney reconstitue la chaîne de commandes qui a permis, et permet encore aux États-Unis, qui se perçoivent comme un modèle de démocratie, de violer à répétition la Convention de Genève."
"The case of an Afghan taxi driver beaten to death in 2002 while in U.S. military custody forms the heart of this examination of the abuses committed during the detainment and interrogation of political prisoners. When New York Times reporter Carlotta Gall investigates the death of cab driver Dilawar--officially declared by the military to be from natural causes--she uncovers incontrovertible evidence to the contrary. Includes images from Bagram Air Force Base and Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay prisons."@en
