THE ROAD TO GUANTÁNAMO DVD House Party
Host a DVD House Party/Special Screening of the docudrama The Road to Guantánamo. This past January marked the fifth anniversary of the first transfers of detainees to the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Just three months before, the President signed into law the Military Commissions Act, stripping the right of Guantanamo prisoners to challenge their detention in federal court. Join Amnesty International's "America I Believe In" Campaign to shed light and speak out against the US government's policies and practices in the "war on terror." By hosting a house party to educate and mobilize activists to take action, you can help close Guantánamo and restore US leadership on human rights.

THE ROAD TO GUANTANAMO is the terrifying first-hand account of three British citizens who were held for
two years without charges in the American military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Known as the "Tipton Three," in reference to their home town in Britain, the three were eventually returned to
Britain and released, still having had no formal charges ever made against them at any time during their ordeal.
Part documentary, part dramatization, the film chronicles the sequence of events that led from the trio setting
out from Tipton in the British Midlands for a wedding in Pakistan, to their crossing the Afghanistan border just as
the U.S. began its bombing campaign, to their eventual capture by the Northern Alliance and their imprisonment in
Camp X-Ray and later at Camp Delta in Guantánamo.
