| Summary: | Shaker Aamer has been held in Guantanamo Bay since 2002. He's a legal UK resident, is married to a British national and has 4 children. He was cleared for release years ago. So why is he still behind bars? Through conversations with activists and former detainees, this film paints a picture of Aamer and his extraordinary situation; from the injustices he has endured to what his life has involved for the last decade. From Bagram to Guantanamo Bay, his story illustrates the "unlawful" measures that the US and UK governments continue to use to justify their War on Terror. They "ignore international law, Geneva conventions, and their own Constitution". |
