Can a photograph change the world? In 2004, twelve photographs taken at the prison at Abu Ghraib in Baghdad changed the war in Iraq and the way the usa regarded itself as a nation. The photographs portrayed Iraqi prisoners being humiliated and tortured by American soldiers. The pictures were taken by members of the army who had been deployed as prison wardens. One important question remains unanswered: do these notorious images provide proof of the systematic torture that takes place at the hands of the American military? Or do they document the abnormal behavior of a few bad seeds?
