Songs of War: From Sesame Street to Abu Ghraib

This documentary explores how music, something that elates and moves the soul, has also been turned into a weapon of war. From Sesame Street tunes to the interrogation rooms of Abu Ghraib, it traces the unsettling ways sound has been used to disorient and break down detainees. The film examines the strange power of music to bypass reason and the ethics of weaponizing it. A provocative watch for anyone interested in war, psychology, and the darker uses of culture.
