"The Road to Guantanamo" is the incredibly true (maybe ...) story of three lads from Tipton, England, who went to Pakistan for a wedding and ended up imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay for two years. Barely a month after 9/11, four British Muslims — Shafiq Rasul, Asif Iqbal and Ruhel Ahmed — traveled to Pakistan to watch Asif get hitched. Once there, they made a series of naive (at best) decisions, the first being to heed an Iman's call to go to Afghanistan to help their under-siege neighbors. Things quickly got messed up.
