Outside the Law

Join the New America Foundation for a special screening of a powerful new documentary film directed by filmmaker Polly Nash and journalist Andy Worthington called "Outside the Law: Stories from Guantánamo," which follows the stories of three current or former detainees from Guantanamo Bay and tells the story of Guantanamo, including segments on extraordinary renditions and secret prisons. With just over two months until President Obama's deadline for the closure of Guantánamo, and with the administration set to announce its plans for dealing with the remaining 220 or so prisoners in the coming weeks, the film's insights into Guantánamo come at a particularly appropriate time.

Andy Worthington will be joined by Tom Wilner, counsel of record to Guantanamo detainees in the Supreme Court's Rasul v. Bush and Boumediene v. Bush rulings, and Peter Bergen, senior fellow at the New America Foundation and author of The Osama Bin Laden I Know, for a panel discussion after the film.
