Summary: Audio from the discussion following the Sheffield screening of Outside the Law: Stories from GuantÃ¡namo.

Outside the Law: Stories from GuantÃ¡namo

Is new documentary telling the story of GuantÃ¡namo: torture, extraordinary rendition and secret prisons. Examining how the Bush administration turned its back on domestic and international law, rounding up prisoners in Afghanistan and Pakistan without adequate screening and often for large bounty payments. Focusing on the stories of three prisoners, Shaker Aamer, Binyam Mohamed and Omar Deghayes, 'Outside the Law: Stories from GuantÃ¡namo' is powerful rebuke to the myth that GuantÃ¡namo holds âthe worst of the worstâ.

(Spectacle Productions, 2009; 75 mins., directed by Polly Nash and Andy Worthington)
