'This Is Camp X-Ray' was an art installation consisting of a fully operational, life-size replica of the U.S internment camp at Guantanamo Bay. It set out to challenge our apathy over the prisoners at the US Army's Guantanamo Bay site. The film will be followed by a discussion with Damien and members of the UHC Collective.
