Eminent Monsters Eminent Monsters

Director: Stephen Bennett

Year: 2020

A shocking expose of Western governments' love affair with torture. In the 1950s Montreal Scottish born psychiatrist Dr Ewen Cameron experimented on his unwitting patients. His techniques included sensory deprivation, forced comas and LSD injections, covertly funded by the Canadian Government and the CIA. Since then his techniques have been used in Northern Ireland, Guantánamo and 27 other countries. 'Do No Harm' includes extraordinary first hand testimony from Guantanamo Bay survivors, Hooded Men from Northern Ireland, senior American psychologists and military personnel. This documentary shows how the collusion of doctors to aid and abet torture began in the 1950s and continues to this day. Interviewees include: former Chief Investigator for al Qaeda Mark Fallon; US Army General Stephen Xenakis; Guantanemo detainees Mohamedou Ould Slahi and Moazzam Begg; and Dr. Steven Reisner who blew the whistle on the collusion between psychologists and the CIA. In Belfast we film with Hooded Men Francis McGuigan, Liam Shannon and Brian Turley, as the European Court of Human Rights decides whether to rule in their favour and redraw the boundaries on what is legally defined as torture.
