I just found this on Democracy Now!'s website:
The film provides eyewitness testimony that U.S. troops were complicit in the massacre of thousands of Taliban prisoners during the Afghan War.... Witnesses say that when the trucks arrived and soldiers opened the containers, most of the people inside were dead. They also say US Special Forces re-directed the containers carrying the living and dead into the desert and stood by as survivors were shot and buried. Now, up to three thousand bodies lie buried in a mass grave.
You can see clips from the film, including some of the eyewitness accounts, here. You can read discussions of the film and reactions to it here, here, here, here and here. Although this film has been seen around the world, only Democracy Now! has broadcast this film in the US.
