A Films Transit relieve a Ces Films Adobe production in colaboration with D. Produced by Luc Cote, Patricio Henriquez. Executive producer, Kevin Kraus. Directed by Luc Cote, Patricio Henriquez.With: Omar Khadr, Mozzam Begg, Omar Deghayes, Damien Corsetti, Michelle Shephard, Raul Berdichevsky, Lieutenant Commander William Kuebler, Bill Graham.Luc Cote and Patricio Henriquez's "You Don't Like the Truth" demonstrates, through excerpts from the real videotaped interrogation at Guantanamo, the process by which human will might be systematically divided to pressure an admission of guilt, regardless of truth. By showing a delegation of Canadians grilling another Canadian youth who was simply formerly tortured by Us citizens, this disturbing docu casts the U.S. less an exporter of democracy when you are an worldwide enabler of civil-rights violations. Bowing Sept. 28 at Gotham's Film Forum, advocacy pic should spark sufficient outrage to propel it using the arthouse circuit. In 2002, Omar Khadr, then 15, was holed up in the suspected Afghani terrorist compound firebombed by U.S. troops. The only real survivor, Khadr was charged with throwing a grenade that destroyed a u . s . states soldier. Still recovering from near-fatal wounds, he was shipped to Bagram Detention Center, where he allegedly was tortured his affidavit account, read aloud, is dependant on onscreen testimony from former cellmates in addition to from well-known interrogator Damien Corsetti, who confesses thinking Khadr was unfairly treated. Next, Khadr was shipped to Guantanamo and uncovered to assist abuse. The videotaped interrogation, completed not by American military but with the CSIS (the Canadian just like the CIA), happened of a year into Khadr's incarceration and was shot with three hidden surveillance cameras. The classified footage is created public this past year by order in the Canadian Top Court, and reps really the only such imagery ever to depart "Gitmo." Cote and Henriquez split the screen into quarters showing the three camera viewpoints at the same time, using the corner left blank. The filmmakers frequently replace the empty portion with present-day footage of psychiatrists, ex-detainees, people in politics, military personnel or relatives watching the archival tapes on laptops and departing comments round the proceedings. The interrogation tapes lead to difficult but revelatory viewing. Oddly enough, the indegent image quality, which leaves Khadr's facial expressions barely visible, makes his gestures particularly eloquent while he goes from marvelous desire to utter despair over four occasions of difficult interrogation. Khadr initially assumes his Canadian countrymen have began to assist him and may give consideration to his account with open minds his grief and disillusionment know no bounds their false bonhomie devolves into cajolery and outright risks, the actual character from the visit becoming apparent. This final disloyality strikes a mortal blow to his belief in justice while he keeps repeating, "You don't like the truth." The docu could not make any pretense of objectivity, giving voice besides the story overlooked by Khadr's accusers. Khadr's military lawyer confesses for you to get his belief in American justice significantly jeopardized Toronto Star reporter Michelle Shephard questions when the boy, with three bullets in him together with a face full of shrapnel, was physically in a position to lobbing a grenade and human-rights advocates realize that becoming an adult soldier under worldwide law, Khadr was prone to protections that have been coldly overlooked.Camera (color, HD), Cote, Patricio Henriquez editor, Andrea Henriquez appear (Dolby Digital), Richard Pelletier.
