An investigation into the notorious Battle of Danny Boy near Al Amarah in Iraq in 2004.  The film investigates allegations that Iraqi prisoners captured during the battle were tortured, abused and even that some may have been killed by British forces. The film also asks why five interrogation techniques banned as inhumane in the seventies were re-introduced by the British in Iraq.  The events surrounding the Battle of Danny Boy are currently the subject of a Public Inquiry due to begin oral hearings later in 2010
