- Synopsis
- THE RESPONSE shows students the workings of the Combatant Status Review Tribunals held at the U.S. Naval Base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba from 2004 to 2007. It takes the form of a courtroom drama based on a composite designed from actual transcripts of the Guantánamo Bay military tribunals. In the film three military officers must decide the fate of a foreign detainee. Is he an enemy combatant, guilty of providing support to Al-Qaeda and responsible for the deaths of several American soldiers? Or is he an innocent victim of circumstances? The film works as a dynamic constitutional law primer to explore the courts, civics, civil liberties, habeas corpus and more. Produced in association with the University of Maryland, School of Law.
