The story of the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security and Cooperation (formerly the U.S. Army School of the Americas) and activist Father Roy Bourgeois’ campaign against the school.
September 2008 (check local listings)
The Western Hemisphere Institute for Security and Cooperation
(formerly the U.S. Army School of the Americas) in Fort Benning,
Georgia, has, according to one U.S. Congressman, "the nefarious
distinction of being the place in the United States where the worst
human rights abusers in the Western Hemisphere come to learn
military tactics and to teach them." "Father Roy" combines
explosive and previously unreported information about torture
training at Fort Benning with the extraordinary life story and
experiences of Father Roy Bourgeois, the daring activist who is
leading the campaign to close down the school.
