    • Trivia
      Two of the actors (Riz Ahmed and Farhad Harun) and two of the ex-detainees were detained temporary and interrogated at the airport by the British police when they returned from the Berlinale-festival where the movie got the Silver Bear. According to BBC-news Ahmed said he was asked if he intended to make any more political films.
    • Goofs
      When one of the "detainees" is first brought into the interrogation tent, a guard accidentally lifts the man's shirt, revealing the wire of a remote microphone.
    • Quotes

      Shafiq: [rapping to an American guard] My name's Shafiq Rasul, and I'm from Tipton, I tell them I ain't Taliban, but they don't wanna listen. You won't believe I just came out here, for my mate's wedding, do you? I never thought my ass, would be heading for Cuba.

    Terrorism Propaganda
    This is a slick well put together piece of terrorist propaganda in which 3 boys who have had all the privileges and liberties of western society travel, weeks after 911, 12000 miles across the world and "get lost" in a van with 50 other foreign fighters, who also "got lost" after accidentally picking up AK47s and rpgs, and again accidentally head for the front-line in an imminent war. they are somehow mistaken for fighters, although they can't figure out why,something about the convoy being full to the brim with gun totting lunatics and are subsequently captured by Americans who are unrelentingly portrayed as barbarians.

    The trick of this docu-farce is to make out that the terrorists are human beings too-- without showing one image of the child murderers they truly are..

    The truly funny thing about this movie is the way the terrorists are portrayed as all being saintly individuals who would never hurt a fly (complete to swooning music).

    The story is comical and riven with errors and smacks of a hastily put together "I-got-lost" tale given quickly after capture.

    note: listen to the stats at the end and notice how not one mention is given of the 17% of terrorists that are recaptured on the battlefield after release...

    defo worth a watch but doooooooooont get sucked in....
