In Guantanamo
Media Type: Movie
By: David Miller
Description:
Guantanamo naval base, "Gitmo", covers forty five square miles of Cuba
inside an area under a controversial 'permanent lease' to the United
States. Since 2002, the base has become synonymous with its detainment
facilities for suspected terrorists. Although Barack Obama has given
orders for the detention camp to be closed, the facilities remain open
to this day. David Miller's quiet, powerful film is the result of three
days the filmmaker spent touring the camps in May 2008 as part of a
small group of media representatives allowed there. Although the event
was presented as a chance to 'see inside' the working of Guantanamo, it
was in fact a carefully staged PR exercise designed to yield
predictable, stale, controlled media images.
