Mixing stunning archival footage, on the ground detective work and backed by hard hitting interviews from key administration witnesses such as Colin Powell’s former Chief of Staff, Matthew Waxman, former White House advisor to Condoleeza Rice, and former US Navy General Counsel Alberto Mora, as well as Michael Scheuer, chief architect of the CIA’s "Extraordinary Renditions" program. The film also includes revelatory footage from previously unaired US Senate Armed Services Committee hearings.
