Watch The Road to Guantanamo For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

People are voting emotionally.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

If you take the film for what it is - a damning indictment of the American treatment of suspected POWs, entirely against the Geneva Convention - then it deserves praise for its reconstruction of the appalling American hypocrisy perpetrated at Guantanamo Bay.Unfortunately the film entirely fails to question why these British citizens travelled to Afghanistan and then, by their own later admission, attended militant training camps. Instead, it portrays them as virtually completely innocent and caught up in circumstances beyond their control.While in no way excusing the utterly unacceptable and shameful behaviour of the US government and military, the fact that these lads clearly put themselves in the way of danger is not sufficiently explored in the film.

Although some have not heard of the Tipton Three, they are real. In fact, one of them, Shafiq Rasul should be familiar to all who were really in Guantanamo. He is the one who sued George Bush and won in Rasul vs Bush the right of the captives at Guantanamo to challenge their captivity in US courts.The movie itself has very good production values. At times, the reenactment gives the impression we are seeing a collection of clips filmed in real time and on site. Oh and by the way, of the 775 prisoners taken to Gitmo, 420 were released without charge.

This movie i had heard of. I had seen the press for it, and sometimes you have to be in a frame of mind to watch something of this magnitude. I knew it was going to probably blow my mind in terms of how the the orange-jump-suit prisoners are not only treated, but how they get there in the first place.Last night, the time had come. My perception was shattered and I now look at the US (and my own government) with disgust.These lads, were definitely no choir boys in the UK, but they were no more a threat to national security than any other group of young teenagers.What shocked me the most, was how they were trying to convince the men that it was them on the video tape and how they were photographed sitting in rallies listening to the Bin Laden. Sheer mental torture.Then the moment of "oh my god" came. One of the three, put 2 and 2 together and realized he had a cast iron alibi -- at the time they were accusing him of being with Bin Laden, he was actually in UK prison! Fantastic -- their whole game was blown out of the water. There was no more mind games these guys could do, to him, or his friends.The fact that it had to go on for so long was a complete outrage.I for one, will be lobbying my MP seeing what the current situation is.Watch this movie -- then ASK questions.

... That's a saying that I got from a rap song. It could easily be a tag line for this movie. If you don't know what Guantanamo stands for and if you don't want to know that before you go see the movie, then stop right here ... although I don't consider it a spoiler myself, but here goes: Guantanamo stands for the Guantanamo Bay prison that is used by the Americans. The prisoners held there, are allegedly all terrorists. The Americans are pretty sure that they are. This is the story of four Pakistan friends, that live in the UK, but are on a trip to a wedding to Pakistan. Their motives for not going directly to the wedding are unclear (at least to me), so that the movie does have a strange touch at the beginning ... but that's nothing compared, to what is going to happen to them ...
