Multi-award winning
documentary. From a pleasant visit to the prison
camp of Guantanamo Bay this film embarks on a
journey to Washington, Stockholm, Bucharest then to
Abu Ghraib in Iraq and slowly…. a new scary world is
revealing itself. In the wake of the 9/11, 2001
terrorist attacks, the United States opened a prison
camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The hundreds of
prisoners believed to be detained there are not
afforded prisoners of war status according to the
Geneva convention. They are labelled unlawful
combatants, held indefinitely with no right to a
lawyer or a trial. The scandal of Abu Ghraib prison
is prominent in this film. The woman in charge of
the prison at the time of the scandal, Janice
Karpinski, was replaced by none other than GITMO’s
commander General Miller. Through her testimony and
documented evidence, General Miller is seen as the
man responsible for importing the controversial
interrogation procedures from Cuba to Iraq which
culminated in the scandals at Abu Ghraib. |
