Product Information
Channel 4's new drama from multi award-winning film director Michael Winterbottom created huge international impact and won the prestigious Silver Bear for Direction for Winterbottom and Mat Whitecross in competition at The 56th Berlin International Film Festival in February. The Road to Guantanamo is based on first-hand interviews with the Tipton Three, the three male British prisoners released in spring of last year from Guantanamo Bay, and was filmed in Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan. The feature-length factual drama tells the story of four friends who set off from Tipton, their West Midlands home town, in September 2001 for a wedding and a holiday in Pakistan. Two and a half years later three of them returned home, after spending more than two years imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay. Their epic journey is told on film through a mixture of interviews, archive and recreation of their story, as the men go from the safety of their small-town teenage existence to the heart of the 'war on terror'.Product Identifiers
