Gitmo

The documentary takes up the detention camp at Guantanamo Bay. Two directors obtain permission to visit the camp. There they are shown a selected set of areas. They are looked after well, but they meet no detainees. What is shown to them does not match the question they are asking. The crew goes back to Sweden and carries the investigation on. What they are after is the interrogation methods. It is argued that the same methods were used in Iraq. The film tries to establish the link between the two places. Statements from soldiers and officials come into it. Mehdi, a Swedish citizen, has been released from the camp. For a long time he chose to stay silent. In the film he decides to break that silence. This is openly a critical documentary and it states its case from the start. The eighty two minute documentary investigates a detention camp and its methods. It is a Swedish production Erik Gandini and Tarik Saleh finished in 2005.
