Toilet Review: War. War never changes. But then it does, and gets oh so dirty.
Every so often, I go on mad spree of watching epicly disturbing or sad documentaries. I tend to binge on them until whatever force is driving me to watch them feels sated, and I feel drained and confused, and a little angry at the world.
“Dirty Wars” is one of such documentaries. It focuses on journalist Jeremy Scahill’s attempts to fully understand the role that the US plays in conflicts throughout the Middle East. He discovers what it means to be put on the US’ “hit list” and what collateral damage means to those in power, and those who it effects. Throughout the movie, he visits Yemen and Iraq, and  Afghanistan. Time and time again, he is told of families murdered, sons killed, daughters slaughtered, as the US looks for members of terrorist groups.
He meets the father of an American citizen on said hit list, who will be killed without trial, without due discourse, without any sort of fair treatment, and Scahill’s findings are shocking to say the least.
An interesting documentary to say the least, and shows how the USA is not only attempting to end this generation of terrorists but also breeding the next one.
