While torture becomes a staple narrative device in TV shows like 24 or films like Taken, real torture is not quite as exciting. The documentaries presented in the Pacific Film Archive’s “Watching the Unwatchable: Films Confront Torture” stare back at the abyss that is torture. Perhaps the most prescient is Errol Morris’  Standard Operating Procedure, a studied look at the abuses at Abu Ghraib and the photographs that documented them. But others try to get the core of the problem. The 1988 Quiet Rage: The Stanford Prison Experiment revisits the infamous 1971 experiment that proved that anyone could be pushed into the most inhumane actions.
