The Road to Guantanamo Movie Photos

Posted by: MacReady

The studio provided us with 10 images for the upcoming "The Road to Guantanamo", which has its limited release from June 23rd. The film tells the story of four friends who set off from Tipton in the English Midlands in September 2001 for a wedding and a holiday. Two and a half years later three of them returned home. Their story is told through a mixture of interviews with the men, news archive and recreation of their ordeal. To view all images just click the one below or visit our Gallery.

Their journey took them from Tipton, to Karachi, Kandahar, Kabul and Konduz, where they were captured by the Northern Alliance, imprisoned in Sheberghan, then flown by the Americans to Kandahar. From there they were taken to Guantanamo Bay in Cuba where they were imprisoned in Camp X-Ray then Camp Delta for more than two years. The Americans accused them of being international terrorists and claimed they had footage of them with Osama Bin Laden and Mohammed Atta. They were released when they proved that one of them had been working at Curryâ€™s, an electrical superstore, at the time and the other two were on parole in Tipton.
