Outside the law stories from Guantanamogh
A new documentary telling the story of Guantánamo: torture, extraordinary rendition and secret prisons. Examining how the Bush administration turned its back on domestic and international law, rounding up prisoners in Afghanistan and Pakistan without adequate screening and often for large bounty payments.
Focusing on the stories of three prisoners, Shaker Aamer, Binyam Mohamed and Omar Deghayes, ‘Outside the Law: Stories from Guantánamo’ is powerful rebuke to the myth that Guantánamo holds “the worst of the worst”.
The film was based on the The Guantanamo Files, The Stories of the 774 Detainees in America’s Illegal Prison, by Andy Worthington (Pluto Press). The film tells the stories of 3 British residents held at Guantánamo which between them illustrate many of the most disturbing aspects of US detention policy since 9/11.
