The Road to Guantanamo (2006)
In 2001, four Pakistani
Britons, Ruhal Ahmed, Asif Iqbal and Shafiq Rasul and another friend, Monir, travel to Pakistan for a wedding
and in a urge of idealism, decide to see the situation of war torn Afganistan which is being bombed by the
American forces in retaliation for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Once there, with the loss of Monir in the
wartime chaos, they are captured by Northern Alliance fighters. They are then handed them over the American
forces who transport them to the prison camps at the Guantanamo Bay base in Cuba. What follows is three years
of relentless imprisonment, interrogations and torture to make them submit to blatantly wrong confessions to
being terrorists. In the midst of this abuse, the three struggle to keep their spirits up in that face of
this grave injustice. - imdb.com
