*LONGER SYNOPSIS:*
*

". . . 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?

While the officers see the classified evidence, the detainee does not. While
the officers know who has accused the detainee, the detainee does not. In
response, the government counters that to release such classified
information could assist the terrorists and undermine U.S. national
security.

For the first time ever, THE RESPONSE holds a mirror up to the tribunals and
allows an audience to see and hear for themselves what went on inside
Guantanamo. While the three officers and the detainee are fictionalized
composite characters, the dramatic situation of the legal process is fully
accurate.

The film places the audience inside the tribunal process where they, along
with the military tribunal, must decide whether the evidence presented is
credible and if the detainee is, indeed, an enemy combatant."
