Taxi to the Darkside will not be seen by viewers of the Discovery Channel, even though the channel purchased exclusive rights to air the film for three years. New management staff at the channel say the movie is "too controversial" to be shown on any of their basic cable channels. This decision effectively bars American citizens from viewing this film, which is an expose of our government's actions in recent years by focusing on the death of a young taxi driver in Afghanistan.
The film is nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature and was nominated by both The Writer's Guild and The Director's Guild for their annual awards.
Let the Discovery Channel know that you want to see this film.
