Kathryn Bigelow addresses ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ torture criticism

‘Zero Dark Thirty’ director Kathryn Bigelow answers criticism of the film’s depiction of torture, which she says does not equal endorsement of the tactics.

For a long time, measuring more years than I care to count, I thought the movie that became “Zero Dark Thirty” would never happen. The goal, to make a modern, rigorous film about counter-terrorism, centered on one of the most important and classified missions in American history, was exciting and worthy enough, or so it seemed. But there were too many obstacles, too many secrets, and politicians standing in the way of an easy path.
