Andy Worthington is a contributing reporter to Truthout, published the book "The Guantanamo Files: The Stories of the 774 Detainees in America's Illegal Prison," and is now promoting his new documentary "Outside the Law: Stories from Guantanamo," co-directed with filmmaker Polly Nash.

From Truthout:

The film provides intimate interviews with two former detainees, Omar Deghayes and Moazzam Begg, and their lawyers, Clive Stafford Smith and Tom Wilner. Deghayes and Begg describe how they ended up in US custody, the gruesome conditions they faced while being held by the US and the impact this experience has had on their personal lives.
