The footage is shocking: grainy film shows a slim teenage boy, hunched into himself under a spotlight in a bare interrogation cell. "You don't care about me," he tells his interrogators, again and again. After they leave, the ceiling-mounted camera records his racking sobs, just audible over the hum of the air-conditioner.

At the time of this interrogation in Guantánamo Bay, February 2003, the boy, Omar Khadr, a Canadian national, was barely 16, yet he had already been in military custody for seven months.

ThinkAThunk's thoughts:

This movie is a really shocking example of human rights violations by the US and Canada.
