I am Gitmo

"I am Gitmo" tells the story of a Muslim teacher who is taken from his home and brought to Guantanamo in the aftermath of September 11th in the fight against terror. Gamel, initially taken from his home in Afghanistan to Bagram airbase, is then transported to Guantanamo, Cuba. Despite claiming his innocence, he is subjected to intense interrogation and torture. Gamel's fate lies in the hands of John, the military interrogator handling his case. The film offers a drama that draws viewers into the depths of Gamel's character and John's ethical dilemmas. While the scenes of interrogation and torture trigger an emotional response from the viewer, the film also exposes how easily a person's freedom can be taken away and how easy it is to get lost within the system.

The film was largely shot in Guantanamo, Cuba.
