Documentary filmmaker Errol Morris (The Fog of War, The Thin Blue Line) examines the context of the twelve notorious photographs from Baghdad’s Abu Ghraib. Why were they taken? What was happening outside the frame? Morris talks directly to the soldiers who took the photographs and who were in the photographs. Who are these people? What were they thinking? And the underlying question: how could American values become so compromised that Abu Ghraib—and the subsequent coverup—could happen?
