Moyers & Company Show 120: Reckoning with Torture
From: Moyers & Company
Series: Moyers & Company
Length: 53:00
Liman and Siems staged public readings of declassified military documents, including testimony of military detainees. The performers were celebrities and central figures in the torture debate, and Liman and Siems now want the general public to participate by making their own recordings of documents found on their ‘Reckoning with Torture‘ website.
“We made mistakes. We made grave, serious mistakes of judgment,” Siems tells Moyers, “And we would be stronger as a nation, if we stood up and said, ‘We did these things. We’re sorry. We’re gonna do better.’”
