On June 9th. 2006 three Guantanamo detainees died inside the base. The prison authorities said that the detainees had taken their own lifes. The parents of the prisoners said their sons were killed.
This is the horrifying story about one of the deceased, Yasser Al-Zahrani from Saudi Arabia. He was only 17 years old when he came to Guantanamo in 2002. His father has filed a case against Donald Rumsfeld. The father states: They tortured him. Then they killed him and returned him to me in a box, cut up.”
The Norwegian filmmaker, Erling Borgen, has been to seven countries and worked for three years with this documentary. He interviews released Guantanamoprisoners, lawyers representing the Guantanamo prisoners – and describes a fathers struggle to find out the truth about what happened with his son.
The film features former Guantanamo prisoners Omar Deghayes, Moazzam Begg, Al-Jazeera's Sami al-Hajj, survivor of the brutal massacre at Qala-i-Jangi Walid al-Hajj and Colonel Talal al-Zahrani, father of Yasser.
