Trivialidades:

Two of the actors (Riz Ahmed and Farhad Harun) and two of the ex-detainees were detained temporary and interrogated at the airport by the British police when they returned from the Berlinale-festival where the movie got the Silver Bear. According to BBC-news Ahmed said he was asked if he intended to make any more political films.

Errores:

Personal o Equipo Visible: When one of the "detainees" is first brought into the interrogation tent, a guard accidentally lifts the man's shirt, revealing the wire of a remote microphone.

Citas:

Shafiq: [rapping to an American guard] My name's Shafiq Rasul, and I'm from Tipton, I tell them I ain't Taliban, but they don't wanna listen. You won't believe I just came out here, for my mate's wedding, do you? I never thought my ass, would be heading for Cuba.

Watch it.

I haven't slept for twenty four hours after watching The Road to Guantanamo. As a westerner I feel bombarded with western orientated reports on recent US actions. I can't remember the last news report I saw or read saying 'this is really bad what the US are doing'. Everything is very PC, objective, and non opinionated, but nobody wants to offend the US it seems. This film portrayed the US as the bad guys - it didn't offer a contradictory view. Some people might think that shows poor journalism, I think it's a refreshing perspective, considering that the US are constantly allowed to offer us excuses for whatever wrongs they commit. This time they weren't, and I found it very enlightening.
