The NRCAT Store offers you several opportunities to tell members of your congregation or religious organization, neighbors, and friends that U.S.-sponsored torture must end. Sharing that word with others is one of the most important things we can do to work for the day when U.S.-sponsored torture is prohibited.

Taxi to the Dark Side
Directed by Alex Gibney

Winner of the 2008 Academy Award® for Best Documentary Feature as well as a 2008 Peabody Award, Taxi to the Dark Side takes an in-depth look at the highly questionable interrogation practices used by United States military guards on prisoners in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo Bay in the years following 9/11. Beginning with the story of an innocent young Afghan taxi driver named Dilawar, who was killed while being held in Bagram prison in 2002, Taxi to the Dark Side tells the grim, cautionary saga of how the U.S. government approved the use of cruel and unusual interrogation techniques that bordered on torture. In examining the interrogation practices used in Bagram, Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay, the film includes shocking photos, archival footage, expert commentary, and interviews with several soldiers stationed at prisons in Afghanistan and Iraq. These guards admit to using unorthodox techniques - including isolation, ceiling handcuffing, sleep deprivation, strip humiliation, "water boarding," threats by menacing dogs, sexual abuse and more - that they say were condoned and even approved by their superiors, despite being in clear violation of the humanitarian rules outlined in the Geneva Conventions.

More info about the film is available at HBO.com .

In the Footsteps of the Crucified: Torture is Never Justified was written by Scott Wright and represents the work of the National Religious Campaign Against Torture (NRCAT), Pax Christi USA, the Torture Abolition and Survivors Support Coalition (TASSC) and JustFaith Ministries (well-respected for its transformational, small-group programs in areas of social justice.). The program focuses on the reality of torture and on inspiring examples of faithful and prophetic witness against torture by survivors, human rights groups, and concerned citizens. It offers a way to engage the horror and complexity of torture through direct, honest dialogue in the context of a trusted, supportive and prayerful small group experience.

Price: Registration for the program is through JustFaith Ministries. Costs include $15.00 per person for a book and per group costs of $100 for registration and $100 for DVDs. Click here to access the module registration and ordering information from JustFaith Ministries.
