During the making of The Stuff of Life, the “detainee” underwent waterboarding. Though he always had the ability to stop (something real detainees do not have) it was important to the filmmakers that this film is authentic. It is not a dramatisation.
A lot of care was taken to have full medical supervision. The filmmakers used a hi tech camera to shoot the water hitting the detainees mouth at 1000 frames a second.
Is this torture? We think it is. We want people to make that decision for themselves. If you think it is, sign up, take action against it, become an unsubscriber, and spread the word. Pass this film on to all of your friends and colleagues, and make a difference.
