<font class="Apple-style-span" face="'trebuchet ms', sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">". . . is a courtroom drama based on the actual transcripts of the Guantanamo Bay military tribunals [officially known as Combatant Status Review Tribunals, or CSRTs]. In the film, three military officers must decide the fate of a suspected enemy combatant. Is he guilty of providing material support to Al Qaeda and responsible for the deaths of several American soldiers? Or is he an innocent victim of circumstances as he claims?</span></font></p>
