Watch "The Road To Guantanamo"
The official site of the film "The Road To Guantanamo"
"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 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 and British governments." click here to watch it on Google Video
