This is part of a nationwide showing in more than 500 temples and churches. It is sponsored by the National Religious Campaign Against Torture, made up of more than 130 religious organizations representing an unprecedented diversity of U.S. religious life and includes Elie Weisel, Pastor Rick Warren, Syyid Syeed, Theodore Cardinal McCariick and Jimmy Carter.

The message is that torture is a moral issue and is always wrong – with no exceptions. The film probes the psychology of how typical American men and women came to commit these atrocious acts. Ultimately, the film asks what these events say about America, our government, the military and human nature.

The events are co-sponsored locally by The Interfaith Alliance Hawaii, The Buddhist Study Center, and The First Unitarian Church.
