Rep. David Price (D-NC) welcomed the audience at a Nov. 2, 2019 screening of the new thriller film “The Report” at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh. “This film emphasizes the continuing role and obligation of Congress to bring light to the mistakes of our country\u2019s past,” Rep. Price said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In “The Report,” Adam Driver plays Dan Jones, the young staffer who conducted the Senate Intelligence Committee’s investigation of the CIA’s brutal post-9\/11 rendition and torture program. Annette Bening plays Senator Dianne Feinstein, Jones’ boss. The film can be viewed in select theatres and on Amazon Prime; watch the trailer here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “We must be honest in accounting for the past,” Rep. Price told the crowd of 175 people. “But the point of that is to chart a more positive course forward, and not to let the dark past recur, and this is a time in our history where I say that with particular emphasis. This must not recur no matter who the President is.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rep. Price praised the work of the North Carolina Commission of Inquiry on Torture, and highlighted its findings on North Carolina’s facilitation of the CIA’s torture program. He called attention to the Commission’s report “Torture Flights”<\/a> and said, “I was happy to insert the Executive Summary of the North Carolina report in the Congressional Record.” He called “Torture Flights” and the Senate Torture Report “critical to facing our past, finding accountability, and moving forward with integrity.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
