What's at stake when a government condones torture? From the frontlines of the war on terror comes a one-of-a-kind performance/installation event directed for the stage by Doug Liman. Exposed through declassified government documents and interviews with former detainees are the scope and human cost of the post-9/11 U.S. torture program. Paul Auster, Annie Proulx, Alex Gibney, George Saunders, Naomi Wolf, Esmeralda Santiago, Sandra Cisneros, Jack Rice, Matt Alexander and other internationally-acclaimed writers and artists join former CIA and military officials to take part in this special event organized by the ACLU and the PEN American Center, with original artwork by Jenny Holzer.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
