The film "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.  Part documentary, 
part dramatization, the real Tipton Three (Tipton Three, in reference to 
their town in Britain) tell their stories in interviews throughout the 
film.  The film chronicles the sequence of events that took the trio 
from Tipton in the British Midlands to their crossing the Afghanistan 
border just as the U.S. began their invasion.  There they were captured 
by the Northern Alliance and imprisoned in Camp Z-Ray and later at Camp 
Delta in Guantanmo.

The film has already engendered significant controversy due to its 
critical stance towards the American and British governments. For more
