Part drama, part documentary--a recounting of the story of the Muslim men from Britain now known as the 'Tipton Three'. In 2001 they set off for a wedding in Pakistan, took a side trip to Afghanistan and were captured by the Northern Alliance, held at an American military camp and later shipped to Guantánamo. They remained imprisoned there for two years, until evidence emerged that they were still in Britain at the time they were accused of having been at a rally with Osama bin Laden. The real Tipton Three tell their stories in interviews throughout the film. Those segments are juxtaposed against dramatic episodes in which actors play out the men's confusion and captivity in brutal detail.
