Havana, January 21 (RHC)-– The 33rd Sundance Independent Movie Festival, held in Salt Lake City, United States, premiered a film that exposes the mistreatment of prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp in U.S.-occupied Cuban territory.
Entitled Camp X-Ray, the film is impressive and important, said renowned actress Kristen Stewart, who plays U.S. Army soldier Amy Cole. She noted that the movie mirrors the cruelty and humiliation to which the alleged suspects of terrorism are subjected at the prison camp.
The film features innocent prisoners, such as Ali Amir, interpreted by Peyman Moadi, and the new generation of women soldiers, a role played by Stewart as a guard meeting its service at the prison.
Movie-maker Peter Sattler said that the screenplay of his first film was inspired by a documentary in which a guard and a prisoner talked about some books. Sattler worked as graphic designer in films such as Star Trek, and he also directed a short length film entitled “Newton.”
