Venue: Human Rights Action Centre, 17 - 25 New Inn Yard, London EC2A 3EA
Date: 17 July 2007

Michael Winterbottom's acclaimed docudrama focusses on the story of the Tipton Three and their experiences of the military prison at Guantánamo Bay.

Dir. Michael Winterbottom and Mat Whitecross, 95 mins
Winner of Best British Documentary at the British Independent Film Awards
This event is part of our Behind the Screen series.

Michael Winterbottom's acclaimed docudrama exposes the injustices of the military prison at Guantánamo Bay by focussing on the experiences of the Tipton Three. Ruhal Ahmed, Asif Iqbal and Shafiq Ismail, all from Tipton, Britain, were held in extrajudicial detentiion for two years in Guantánamo Bay before being released without charge in 2004.

The Road to Guantánamo is based on the initial account taken from the men on their release, in which they tell the story of how they came to be in US custody at Guantánamo, and discuss the Kafkaesque horrors that awaited them there, until finally they were released without charge or apology.

Entrance is free, but booking is essential. This film is Cert 15 - proof of age may be requested on entry.

The saddest thing is that this is nothing compared to what does happen in Guantanamo and secret prisons around the world! :(

Insha'allah, buy the DVD! Proceeds go to the brothers! :up:
