Eminent Monsters traces the roots of western governments love affair with torture.
In 1950s Montreal Scottish born psychiatrist Dr. Ewen Cameron experimented on his patients, using sensory deprivation, forced comas and LSD injections. Covertly funded by the Canadian government and the CIA, his techniques have been used in Northern Ireland, Guantánamo and 27 countries around the world.
Including extraordinary first hand testimony from Guantanamo survivors, the Hooded Men from Northern Ireland and senior American psychologists and military personnel, Eminent Monsters shows how the collusion of doctors to aid and abet torture began in the 1950s and continues to this day.
It’s a far cry from “do no harm”. Stephen Bennett’s chilling investigation into psychological warfare uncovers how the psychiatric community has colluded with state sponsored torture for decades.
Through extensive interviews, the film uncovers how hundreds of secret experiments conducted since the 1950s influenced interrogation practices in the US and UK.
At the centre of the collusion was Ewen Cameron, whose Canadian practice received millions of dollars to conduct experiments on sensory deprivation and overload on his vulnerable patients.
Interviewing victims’ families, whistleblowers, the military and the medical community, Bennett lays bare the horrific mind control practices employed in interrogations, from Guantanamo Bay to the Hooded Men of Belfast.
