Under the Hood: A Voyage Into the World of Torture is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Patricio Henríquez and released in 2008. Marking a transition between the focus on Chilean history in his earlier films and the more international focus of his later career, the film documents the use of torture as a tool of political and social oppression, both in historical contexts such as the military dictatorships in Chile, Argentina and Guatemala, and in the then-contemporary context of the Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay detention camps during the early 2000s War on Terror.
