The Road to Guantanamo....

[BooScout]

I don't think this lil movie will make it to the States. I'm watching it on Channel 4 right now. It makes me madder than hell. The things we have done to our fellow human beings on this planet is beyond horrendous.

The Road to Guantanamo

By Kirk Honeycutt
Bottom line: A forceful docu-drama about three unfortunate Britons locked up in U.S. detention as "enemy combatants."


Screened at the Berlin International Film Festival

BERLIN -- Four mates from the British Midlands embark on a wedding trip and side adventure in late September 2001 only to find themselves on "The Road to Guantanamo." This remarkable film by Michael Winterbottom and Mat Whitecross tracks the true story of these British citizens of Pakistani descent, using hundreds of hours of interviews so the story can come out, literally, in their own words.

The early sections are reminiscent of Winterbottom's astonishing "In This World" (2003), but the road picture soon turns into a war picture and then a prison picture as the men are incarcerated by U.S. forces convinced they are Taliban. (more)
