The UK premiere of 'You Don't Like The Truth' is this Saturday (26th March)at 4pm in Brixton.

This stunning documentary is based on security camera footage from an encounter in Guantánamo Bay between a team of Canadian intelligence agents and Canadian citizen Omar Khadr, then a 16-year-old detainee.

Omar was only 15 years old when he was captured by US forces in Afghanistan and held in the Guantánamo Bay detention camp – the youngest detainee and the first since World War II to be prosecuted in a military commission for war crimes committed while still a minor.
