Morris, Abu Ghraib, Film Club

Studio 360 | Jan 11, 2011

The aftershocks of Abu Ghraib. In “Standard Operating Procedure,” filmmaker Errol Morris tells the story of the soldiers who posed and photographed abuses of prisoners at Abu Ghraib. In a strange twist of timing, U.S. military prisons are the subject of another movie being released this weekend; this one, however, is a comedy. “Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay” details the misadventures of two White Castle-loving potheads who find themselves the subjects of racial profiling.
