The Road to Guantanamo

The Road to Guantanamo is a documentary directed by Michael Winterbottom and Mat Whitecross about three detainees at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. The film condemns the interrogator's treatment of the Guantanamo prisoners as torture and violations of the prisoners' human rights.

Ruhal Ahmed, Asif Iqbal and Shafiq Rasul, also known as the "Tipton Three," travel to Afghanistan in October 2001, in the midst of United States attacks on the Taliban. They become entangled in the fighting and are captured by Northern Alliance soldiers.

The rest of the film details their interrogation at Guantanamo Bay, including torture methods used by US Army and Central Intelligence Agency interrogators.
