The Forever Prisoner

For someone who doesn't regularly seek out political documentaries like this, I found this film to be surprisingly entertaining. Dare I say, it is perhaps the funniest film about government sanctioned torture???

It was incredibly gripping and an infuriating look back at the key players responsible for the U. S. government's torture program. It also brought to life the world of Abu Zubaydah in a creative and compelling ways. I highly recommend this for anyone interested in better understanding the events leading up to and unfolding after attacks of September 11th, without feeling like they're watching a news program. Well done.

Half of americans think torture is okay. Is this for real????

I actually can not believe what have I just seen and heard.

You - Americans, have a big big big problem!!! And it's just getting worse!!!!

The forever Prisoner is a shocking and terrifying documentary about Abu Zubaydah, the first high-value detainee subjected to the CIA's program in Guantanamo Bay, later identified as torture by those outside the agency. I recently Watched Camp-X, which is also about Guantanamo Bay, and I wanted to know more about what actually happens there. But I was unprepared for this documentary. It is almost unbelievable what we as a country did to these people. The scariest thing is that it is still going on and that there is nothing stopping the CIA from doing it again. This really is a must-watch documentary.

Great editing. Great narration. It still doesn't mention that there was no full explanation why third tower went down, so the first few minutes is more of a US government propaganda perspective why US was attacked and why US was not able to prevent it. But the documentary is well made overall. Feels like how a Michael amoore Doco is made.

This is an important film as it goes inside the actual behavior of what happens during these types of incarceration. Think of it more as a docudrama. The actins is good and there is a high degree of tension. It's not an easy film to watch.
