Guantanamo's Child: Omar Khadr

Since he was 15-years-old, Omar Khadr was held at the infamous US military prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. After spending 13 years locked away, the now 28-year-old is finally able to speak about his experiences. Branded as a terrorist and convicted as a murderer in 2002 for throwing a grenade at US troops in Afghanistan, Khadr was transferred to a maximum security facility in Canada, where the Canadian national was released on bail in May 2015. Although there was no cooperation from either the American or Canadian governments, filmmakers Michelle Shephard and Patrick Reed make a compelling documentary which forces us to confront our own biases while unveiling Khadr’s untold story.
