YOUR RATING

The Forever Prisoner is an unflinching look at how America's torture policy began with CIA captive Abu Zubaydah -- the first high-value detainee subjected to the CIA's program of Enhanced Interrogation Techniques (EITs), later identified as torture by those outside the agency. Having never been charged with a crime or allowed to challenge his detention, Zubaydah remains imprisoned at Guantánamo Bay in Kafkaesque limbo, in direct contravention of America's own ideals of justice and due process.

Look inside

This is an important film as it goes inside the actual behavior of what happens during these types of incarceration. Think of it more as a docudrama. The actins is good and there is a high degree of tension. It's not an easy film to watch.
