let's start with the environment. I walked in and immediately felt freezing... this continued for the rest of the 2 hours we sat there. This particular room that we were to be viewing this movie, was also conveniently within view of the sunny beautiful day outside. These were my issues with the environment.
It started okay, explaining the issue, which is pertinent to our current situation abroad and even within our own country concerning torturing techniques. A constant controversy, it is important to examine both sides of the issue, however i felt that this documentary was not objective on the subject, but subjective from the point of view of someone who feels that psychologists should be present for these interrogations. The animations and smaller clips within the film were not beneficial to the visual interest of the audience and instead made us laugh at some points due to their ridiculousness.
Once the film got going i learned a lot about the two sides of the argument for whether or not psychologists should be present during interrogation processes, and what these events generally consist of.
overall, the movie was disjointed and did not flow well together, or keep my interest. I stayed out of respect for the film maker who clearly had interest in the topic and put a lot of work into it. I would have enjoyed it more if it were cut around the hour mark, and if i had a more personal interest in the subject.
