In this day and age...so many stories are just coming down to perspective...
On this episode we jump into the Point of View that we don't always consider, but probably should. It's time for 'I Am Gitmo' opening in Los Angeles today.
A Muslim schoolteacher is taken to a CIA black site and then Guantanamo Bay Cuba, where he is interrogated and tortured, despite professing his innocence.
A fascinating little film that flips the POV that we are used to seeing and allowing us as an audience to see the perspective of the war on terror from the other side, the people who are innocent of any wrong doing.
From writer/director Phillippe Diaz, "I Am Gitmo" is an intense character piece that is hard to look away from. We had the unique pleasure of sitting down with Phillipe to talk about the origins of the movie and so very much more.
'I Am Gitmo' is playing in select theatres in the East Coast of the USA and opens in Los Angeles today.
