Jerry Brown believes his fame will help him to get out of Angola. But in a state, that hardly ever grants clemencies, his battle against the bull is symbolic of a fight for freedom lost a long time ago.

Doctors of the Dark Side is the first feature length documentary about the pivotal role of physicians and psychologists in detainee torture.
