O'Say Can You See 2 delves into the stark and unsettling realm of military interrogations post-9/11. The footage is raw, haunting—it's not just about what’s being said, but the silence that looms around it. Poitras captures the tension so palpably, you can almost feel the weight of the moment. It's not polished, nor does it try to gloss over the uncomfortable truths. The pacing is deliberate, reflecting the heavy themes of power, fear, and humanity stripped bare. The installation feels like a chilling document of a time when the world was changing rapidly. The inclusion of Salim Hamdan, who also ties into her feature THE OATH, adds a layer of complexity to the narrative. This film isn’t easy viewing, but it’s compelling and thought-provoking.
Unique double installation experience.Strong ties to Poitras's earlier work.Challenging themes of power and humanity.
