Road to Guantanamo, The

In 2001, four Pakistani Britons, Ruhal Ahmed, Asif Iqbal and Shafiq Rasul and another friend,Monir travel to Pakistan for a wedding and in a surge of idealism, decide to see the situation of war-torn Afghanistan which is being bombed by the American forces in retaliation for the 9/11 attacks.  Once there, with the loss of Monir in the wartime chaos, they are captured by Northern Alliance fighters.  They are then handed over to American forces who transport them to the prison camps at the Guantanamo Bay base in Cuba. What follows is three years of relentless imprisonment, interrogations and torture to make them submit to blatantly wrong confessions to being terrorists.  In the midst of this abuse, the three struggle to keep their spirits up in the face of this grave injustice.
