Has anyone seen this movie? I watched it the other night and found it to be quite good.

This is a mixture of documentary/drama about the accounts of 3 innocent British citizens held by the American Government for over 2 years. The movie poses some serious questions about what happens to alleged terrorists in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

"Two of the actors (Rizwan Ahmed and Farhad Harun) and two of the ex-detainees were detained temporary and interrogated at the airport by the British police when they returned from the Berlinale-festival where the movie got the Silver Bear. According to BBC-news Mr. Ahmed said he was asked if he intended to make any more political films." -imdb

The people portrayed in the movie were found innocent, so I don't want to see OMG THEY'RE ISLAMIC TERRORISTS!

Thoughts?

It's a good movie, but I couldn't stand the way the cameras were always moving around. Plus the acting could've been better... but good movie nevertheless

Good movie. Bought the DVD a while back. Terrible what those guys had to go through.

How is it supposed to be authentic of the style if it is a drama/documentary? You have 3 innocent people you somehow get into the facility and allow cameras inside as well? You've lost me.

It's not a documentary. It's a retelling of everything from them going to a wedding in Pakistan through to being released from capitivity without charge from Gitmo 2/3 years later, detailing all the shit that happened in between.

I saw most of it on, surprise, IFC some time ago, but refresh my memory, didn't they start poking their noses around hot spots or something? It would be like me trying to find a local klan meeting "just to see what's up" and then act surprised when the FBI starts watching me
