Standard Operating Procedure

Standard Operating Procedure is a graphic, eye-opening, and provocative documentary dealing with the Abu Ghraib prison scandal. This documentary starts out with the terrible volumes upon volumes of photographs taken and the comments of the soldiers stationed at the prison. Standard Operation Procedure forces the audience to look outside the frame of the photos. One line spoken by a civilian interrogator sums up all of our impressions of the lurid acts of the soldiers, " It's disgusting what these schmuck, idiot MPs did." Standard Operating Procedure is a very well edited film. Sometimes painful and onerous to watch, but a film that must be viewed.
