The Road to Guantanamo Poster
Description:
The Road to Guantánamo is a hybrid drama-documentary that follows three British friends from Tipton who are captured in Afghanistan and held at Guantánamo Bay. Interweaving interviews, archival footage, and reconstructions, the film probes how evidence is shaped, interrogations escalate, and civil liberties erode under the War on Terror. It offers a piercing, human perspective on moral ambiguity, government opacity, and resilience in the face of injustice.
