Asif Kapadia / Honorary Degree
More than 100 hunger-strikers in Guantánamo Bay continue their protest. Being held without charge, more than 40 of them are being force-fed. A leaked document sets out the military instructions, or standard operating procedure, for force-feeding detainees. In this four-minute film made by Human Rights organization Reprieve and director Asif Kapadia, US actor and rapper Yasiin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def), experiences the procedure.
It is screened together with Indian Tales, Wild West, The Sheep Thief and The Odyssey
With the support of British Council
