I caught the premiere of this movie at the Bite The Mango World Cinema Festival in Bradford, UK. There was a lot of hype leading up to the screening with newspapers stating that the film should not be shown as it was Anti-American and Anti-Muslim. This was not the case. The film was obviously shot on an extremely tight budget but it did not matter. The story was amazing and the way the so-called 'enemy combatants' were treated in Cuba's Camp Xray was brutal to say the least. The film has a strong anti-war message but I guess for the horrors of the 'war on terror' to be exposed the director had to show gut wrenching scenes to make his point. This is a very raw film without polish but that is why it works. The shock ending will leave you rooted to your seat. People in the audience didn't move and then when they did finally get up they were clearly thinking about what they had seen. Camp Xray will become a cult classic in time but it needs to be seen by a wider audience.
