Description

What do we gain when we confront a legacy of torture?

An exceptional group of writers, advocates, and former military officers gathers to assess where we stand in the struggle for accountability and to showcase a new national film project that shines a light not only on what went wrong but on the courageous men and women who stood up for what is right. Join us for an evening that both looks back and points the way forward for all of us to reckon with torture. Learn more at reckoningwithtorture.org and thetorturereport.org.
