Summary:
A controversial look at the headline-making story of the last Western prisoner at Guantanamo Bay and the larger implications to national security, justice, and international relations. Omar Khadr is the last Western prisoner at the Guantanamo Bay detention centre, and has been held at the American naval base since October 2002, accused of killing a U.S. sergeant in Afghanistan. Levant takes a provocative look at the definition of "child soldier," life at Guantanamo Bay, the media coverage of the case, and the Canadian government's plan for Omar Khadr's rehabilitation upon his return to Canada.
