Road to Guantanamo : Trailer : Green-Band

Back


The Road to Guantanamo Trailer Green-Band Winner of the Silver Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival, THE ROAD TO GUANTANAMO is the terrifying first-hand account of three British citizens who were held for two years without charges in the American military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Known as the "Tipton Three", in reference to their home town in Britain, the three were eventually returned to Britain & released, still having had no formal charges ever made against them at any time during their ordeal. The film has already engendered significant controversy due to its critical stance towards the American & British governments. Part documentary, part dramatization, the film chronicles the sequence of events that led from the trio setting out from Tipton in the British Midlands for a wedding in Pakistan, to their crossing the Afghanistan border just as the U.S. began their invasion, to their eventual capture by the Northern Alliance & their imprisonment in Camp X-Ray & later at Camp Delta in Guantanamo. Source http://RoadToGuantanamoMovie.Com *** - CAMP DELTA - Camp Delta, situated at 19°54′09″N, 75°05′57″W, composed of detention camps 1, 2, 3, 4, & Camp Echo, is a permanent 612-unit detention centre at Guantanamo Bay that replaced the temporary facilities of Camp X-Ray. It was built between February 27 & mid-April 2002 by Navy Seabees, Marine Engineers, & workers from Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg, Brown & Root. Most of the security force are U.S. Army military police, & U.S. Navy Masters-at-Arms. Detainees are first sent to Camp 3, the maximum security camp. Detainees who cooperate with their guards are moved to Camp 2, then, after more co-operation, to Camp 1. Prisoners who are considered to show no security risk & cooperate with interrogators are moved to Camp 4. Camp 4 buildings have a shower & lavatory, plus four communal living rooms for 10 detainees each. Each detainee has a bed and a locker for items such as diaries & books. Camp 4 has small, common recreational areas for playing board games and team sports. Detainees at Camp 4 share communal meals, & wear white instead of orange. - CAMP X-RAY - Camp X-Ray was a temporary detention facility located at the Joint Task Force Guantanamo on the U.S. Naval Base in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. It was named Camp X-Ray because various temporary camps in the station were named sequentially from the beginning & then from the end of the NATO phonetic alphabet. The legal status of detainees at the camp has been a significant source of controversy, ultimately reaching the United States Supreme Court. Source http://WikiPedia.Org
