The Confession: Living the War on Terror
A detailed, wide-ranging interview with Moazzam Begg, a British citizen formerly detained at Guantanamo Bay under suspicion of terrorism offenses.
Documentary 2016 96 mins
Director: Ashish Ghadiali
Overview
Moazzam Begg has been detained under suspicion of terrorism in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Cuba and Britain. In 2002, in Bagram, he confessed to being a member of Al Qaeda. He has never been convicted of any crime, or even brought to trial. This is his first-hand account of what forced that confession - a chronicle of terror, torture and rendition. Award-winning filmmaker Ashish Ghadiali met Begg and completed two full days of in-depth interview, capturing the entirety of his story.
