Scott Z. Burns – „The Report“ (2019)

Folter ist ein System. Und das wird hier mit kühler Präzision seziert. Scott Z. Burns rekonstruiert die jahrelange Recherche des US-Senatsmitarbeiters Daniel J. Jones zur systematischen Anwendung sogenannter „Enhanced Interrogation Techniques“ durch die CIA nach 9/11. Und was dabei sichtbar wird, ist weniger das Monster im Verhörraum als die institutionelle Architektur seiner Legitimation. Mit Adam Driver, Annette Bening und Jon Hamm. (ARD, Free-TV-Premiere)
