More information: The multi-award 2013 documentary Doctors of the Dark Side exposes the scandal behind the torture scandal that was the subject of the APA-commissioned Hoffmann Report released in 2015, — how psychologists and physicians implemented and covered up the torture of detainees in US controlled military prisons. The stories of four detainees and the doctors involved in their abuse show how essential doctors have been to the torture program. Director Martha Davis (Interrogation Psychologists) spent four years investigating the controversy and produced the documentary with an award-winning team. http://www.doctorsofthedarkside.com/.

The film will run for 72 minutes and will be followed by a guest speaker leading a discussion on the lessons and ethical implications for Australian psychologists. Dr Astrid Birgden is a forensic and clinical psychologist who has written and presented in Australia and the US on these issues, and has also served on the APS Ethics Committee.
