January 11, 2012 Amnesty International is showing the Movie, "You Don't Like the Truth", which is an award-winning documentary about the interrogation of a Canadian teenager in Guantanamo and features actual security camera footage of the interrogations as well as expert testimony.
The interrogations are not violent, but they are disturbing nonetheless as they call into question the ethics and efficacy how officials treat adolescent prisoners. To learn more about the film go to www.youdontlikethetruth.com. Discussion after the film.
Place: St Anthony Main Theater
Date: January 11th
