Guantanamo's Child: Omar Khadr plot

In 1995, 8-year-old Omar Khadr moves with his parents from Canada via Pakistan to Afghanistan. In 2002, at the age of 15, he was imprisoned by US troops for his involvement with an al-Qaeda-affiliated group. The teenager ends up without legal aid and without trial in Guantanamo Bay detention camp, where he will be tortured for years. After being transferred to a Canadian cell, he was released unexpectedly in May 2015. From his new place of residence, he and his lawyer look back on his role in the war.
