Must-see DVD: The Road To Guantanamo
http://www.roadtoguantanamomovie.com/

I watched this incredible movie tonight and all I can say is that it is a must-see movie that shows what happens when the wrong people are taken away and tortured in Camp X-Ray...all under our name.

The footage is amazing, set in Pakistan, Afghanistan and in settings that must mirror the prison camps in Cuba in Iran.

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Road_To_Guantanamo

"The Road to Guantanamo is a 2006 docu-drama directed by Michael Winterbottom about the incarceration of three British detainees at a detainment camp in Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, Cuba. It was premiered at the Berlinale on 14th February, 2006, and first shown in the UK on Channel 4 on 9th March, 2006. The following day it was the first film to be released simultaneously in cinemas, on DVD and on the Internet.
Filming took place in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran, which doubled as Cuba. Mat Whitecross is credited as co-director, and handled most of the interviews with the real-life counterparts to the main characters."
