Description

The film tells the disputed story of Ruhal Ahmed, Asif Iqbal and Shafiq Rasul (the Tipton Three) three young British men from Tipton in the West Midlands who were captured by the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan in 2001 and detained as enemy combatants at Guantánamo Bay, without charge or legal representation, for nearly three years. As well as interviews with the three men themselves and archive news footage from the period, the film contains an account of the three mens experiences following their capture by the Northern Alliance, the subsequent handover to the United States military and their detention in Cuba. It contains several scenes depicting their alleged beatings during interrogation, the use of alleged torture techniques such as stress positions and attempts to extract forced confessions of involvement with Al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
