Megan Smaker's documentary follows three Guantanamo Bay detainees who take part in a special Saudian program designed to rehabilitate terrorists.
“The terrorists who declared war on America represent no nation. They defend no territory. And they wear no uniform,” is how George W. Bush described the men who were illegally detained, and subject to abuse and torture, in Guantanamo Bay after the U.S. invaded Afghanistan in the wake of 9/11. At its height, the prison, known as Camp X-Ray, held nearly 800 detainees, with 39 remaining there today.
This was the case for all prisoners except those from Yemen, who were refused release but found themselves on a curious path to freedom when Prince Muhammad bin Nayef of Saudia Arabia welcomed them to a rehabilitation center he built in Riyadh. Partaking in a 12-month program that included classes about religion, morality and how to become good Muslim husbands, the bulk of former terrorists who went through “jihad rehab” seemed to have made it out successfully.
