## Transcript

>> You have no right to a lawyer. You have no right to witnesses. You don't really know what the charges are and you certainly don't know what the secret evidences against you.

>> He's taken on everything from torture to accounting scandals. And he's back this year not with two or three but four new, non- fiction films. His name is Alex Gibney and he might be the most prolific, documentary filmmaker you've never heard of, until now. Gibney catapulted under the National Stage in 2005 with his insider look at Capitalism Run Amuck

>> and the Oscar- nominated Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room.

>> An industry was very reliable for a 100 years was all of a sudden turned into a casino.

>> He went from the boardroom to the torture cell with 2007's Taxi to the Dark Side, an investigation of one taxi driver's death in Afghanistan in 2002 and how the case of Dilawar revealed the fine line between interrogation techniques and torture.

>> We were being told to rough up Iraqis that wouldn't

>> cooperate. We were also told, " They're nothing but dogs ."

>> Taxi to the Dark Side won't give me an academy award and this year he's back with a quartet of provocative projects. The world premiere of a still untitled Eliot Spitzer documentary was the hottest ticket in town at last month's Tribeca Film Festival, sitting the former governor down to recount his rise to power and the sex scandal that brought him down. Slated for a release this fall is Freakonomics, the multi- director adaptation of the bestselling book, Gibney's

>> chapter focuses on cheating in the honorable world of Japanese sumo wrestling.

>> I wanna find out who these people really are and why they attacked America.

>> Another hit at the Tribeca Film Festival was My Trip to Al- Qaeda, a detailed history of modern religious terrorism as captured by author Lawrence Wright in both his book and one man play.

>> I'm not responsible for the terror, I know that. But a little--

>> My trip to Al- Qaeda will air on HBO this fall

>> and finally, already in theaters -[ for $ 2500 -]

>> is Gibney's latest political expose, Casino Jack from the Unites States of Money.

>> Abramoff has admitted to bribing as many as 20 members of Congress.

>> Campaign-

>> Free- wheeling, head spinning profile of Jack Abramoff in the lobbying ways of Washing D. C. -[ Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God ?]

>> I do.

>> Well, you may not have recognized his name, this year's gonna be hard to miss his films, director Alex Gibney back with four projects in 2010.
