Program Title: Torturing Omar Khadr since he was a child at Guantánamo
Description: Nine years ago, Omar Khadr, a child in a battlefield at the time, was accused of killing an American soldier. He has been imprisonned and tortured ever since the alleged incident.

Why had the US refused to consider Khadr a child soldier as international law sees him? Why had the Canadian government abandoned a child in one of the most monstrously cruel jails in the world? Why does Khadr's Canadian citizenship mean nothing in this case? What has the Canadian goverment to gain from his detainment?

We interview two acclaimed directors about their new documentary, "You Don't Like the Truth - 4 days inside Guantánamo", to learn more.

Host(s): MaryCarl Guiao & Drew Garvie
