Darius Rejali presents: Torture & Democracy

One of the United States foremost experts on torture, Darius Rejali discusses his latest book, Torture and Democracy, which won the 2007 Human Rights Book of the Year Award from the American Political Science Association, and the state of the US torture program ten years after 9/11.

Festival of Conscience is being run in conjunction with the play, Another Life", about the collective trauma post-9/11, greed, war and the ensuing U.S. torture program. Both events are produced by Theater Three Collaborative, Inc. in residence at the Irondale Center, Fort Greene, Brooklyn; March 8-24, 2012.

The goal of this three-week series is to foster meaningful dialogues across disciplines to address the most pressing questions facing us today:  What kind of nation have we become?  What kind of country do we want to be?
