Three British Muslims, known as “the Tipton three” are arrested and held without charges for two years by the U.S. government at Guantanamo Bay. Although not a direct representation of the War in Iraq, the filmmakers' focus on questions of rendition and torture resonate with the larger themes of the war of terror. Michael Winterbottom, along with co-director Mat Whitecross, continues his formal experimentation with fiction/nonfiction hybrid filmmaking in this controversial work which was awarded the Silver Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival.
