In 2001, four Pakistani Britons, Ruhal Ahmed, Asif Iqbal and Shafiq Rasul and
another friend, Monir, travel to Pakistan for a wedding and in a urge of
idealism, decide to see the situation of war torn Afganistan which is being
bombed by the American forces in retaliation for the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Once there, with the loss of Monir in the wartime chaos, they are captured
by
Northern Alliance fighters. They are then handed them over the American
forces who transport them to the prison camps at the Guantanamo Bay base
in Cuba. What follows is three years of relentless imprisonment,
interrogations and torture to make them submit to blatantly wrong
confessions
to being terrorists. In the midst of this abuse, the three struggle to keep their
spirits up in that face of this grave injustice.
