Camp X-Ray

2014 · 117 min

A quiet, claustrophobic watch that builds slow tension and quiet heartbreak through small moments and unspoken connection.

Tagline: Connection takes courage
Overview: A young woman joins the military to be part of something bigger than herself and her small-town roots. Instead, she ends up as a new guard at Guantanamo Bay, where her mission is far from black and white. Surrounded by hostile jihadists and aggressive squadmates, she strikes up an unusual friendship with one of the detainees.
How it feels: Melancholic, tense, earnest and bleak. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Isolation, friendship, identity, morality
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
