Synopsis
In February 2003, the 16-year-old Canadian Afghani Omarf Khadr was interrogated by Canadian intelligence in the prison at Guantanamo Bay. Khadr had allegedly killed an American soldier, so according to Washington he was a war criminal. We meet Khadr's cellmates, his lawyer, and former Canadian government officials, as well as a psychiatrist and an investigative reporter who sketch the context of Khadr's dubious case. According to his cellmate in Guantanamo, "If you lie, they want to hear more lies. If you tell the truth, they're not gonna believe you." In October 2010, Omar Khadr plead guilty to all charges, part of a plea bargain that would get him an eight-year sentence instead of life in prison. This makes him the first person to be convicted as a war criminal since the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, and the first child soldier since Nuremburg to be found guilty of war crimes.
