A benefit screening with Co-Director, Jeffrey Stephens sponsored by the Peace and Justice Task Force of the Unitarian Church of All Souls.
The screening will take place in the Reidy Friendship Hall

Since 9/11 our country has faced a constitutional and moral crisis: a pervasive fear
of another 9/11-type attack has been used to justify interrogations that are viewed
around the world as constituting torture. How did we get here?
“Does Torture Work?” explores the Philippine-American relationship and how it
intersects in crucial ways with the here and now.  This early US colonial endeavor
provides context for a look at many issues surrounding the use of torture: What is
torture? What is the history of torture in the west? How does this
history intersect with our current situation? Does torture work?

“Does Torture Work?” is brought to you by Pushback Partners.  Co-Directors Jeffery Stephens, Jay Boekelheide, and Rachel Silverman
have many years of experience and awards (including an Oscar) in radio and
television, as well as feature and documentary film.
Free event – Donations will contribute to the completion of “Does Torture Work?”
