The Road to Guantanamo to Screen at First Unitarian Church Tonight

From the :
The film The Road to Guantanamo will be shown on Friday, August 18th, at 7:00 PM, at the First Unitarian Church, in the Wesson Room (South building) at Carlisle and Comanche in Albuquerque. No charge and popcorn provided. It is the story of the mistreatment of detainees and the policy of holding suspected terrorists at the detention camp. It is based on the testimony of three British Muslims captured in Afghanistan in 2001 and held at Guantanamo for more than two years. It is not a documentary, rather it relies on interviews of these three men and then faithfully reproduces their version of events and the known facts. The narrative is enacted by nonprofessional actors and mingles the techniques of documentary and fictional filmmaking. Rated R for language and violence.

The Social Justice Council is sponsoring the film to inform and inspire a letter-writing campaign against torture.
