Jolting and impossible to ignore this provocative and intelligent expos+- cuts through the official lies and cover-ups to find out what really goes on at America's central gulag in the war on terror Guantanamo Bay Cuba. GITMO: THE NEW RULES OF WAR is fueled by a jarring globetrotting investigative fury that lends an ear to a fascinating cast of individuals: tortured detainees released from this "island outside the law" retired military officers who oversaw Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and former interrogators familiar with America's torture techniques. Ardently seeking to pierce the veil of secrecy filmmakers Erik Gandini and Tarik Saleh initially set out to learn what happened to a single Gitmo detainee-Mehdi a young Muslim from Sweden-but end up scouring the globe for the hard-to-find truth. From a plaza in Sweden where Mehdi's father protests by locking himself in a cage to the deceptively beautiful shores of Guantanamo GITMO fearlessly probes a shadow world where lawless corporate mercenaries handle interrogations and the Geneva Conventions have all but been suspended.
