A controversial documentary about Omar Khadr’s 2003 interrogation by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) in Guantánamo Bay by Montreal-based documentary filmmakers Luc Côté and Patricio Henriquez will be shown to federal MPs on on Parliament Hill tonight.

You Don’t Like The Truth: 4 Days Inside Guantánamo, which has been making headlines in la belle province since its debut at the Festival du Nouveau Cinema (FNC) last week will open across Canada in selected theatres on Oct. 29.

Côté and Henriquez, got access to a seven-hour video of Khadr’s four-day CSIS interrogation in 2008, when the Supreme Court of Canada ordered the Canadian government to turn over documents and video material pertaining to Khadr’s case to his lawyers. Khadr’s lawyers released 10 minutes of the tape to journalists back in 2008, but Côté and Henriquez appear to be the only Canadian media professionals who took the time to analyze the entire grainy surveillance tape.

“We watched it hundreds of times to try to figure out exactly what was said,” says Côté “Because of our equipment we were ultimately able to make a full transcript of the interrogation. We are the first to do this. But it took us two years.”

The filmmakers paint a portrait of a young man who is a victim of the U.S. government’s post-9/11 anti-terrorism policy, the Canadian government’s indifference and the shady dealings of his own father, Ahmed Said Khadr, an al-Qaeda sympathizer who appears to have used his son as a pawn in his dealings with Islamic terrorists.

One of the most troubling aspects of the footage, says Côté, is the behavior of the CSIS agent who interviews Khadr.

“It’s a bit scary. The agent’s sarcasm and teasing are unbelievable. He is supposed to be a senior agent who knows a great deal about Khadr’s family. But he doesn’t even seem to know how to conduct an interview,” says the director. “He seems to think that if he gives him a Subway sandwich, he’ll talk. He comes off as being a bit ridiculous.”

Khadr, whose case has sparked controversy for nearly a decade in this country, is imprisoned in Cuba because the U.S. government maintains he killed a U.S. soldier in July 2002. They want him tried as a war criminal.

You Don’t Like The Truth is very sympathetic to Khadr’s case and weaves footage of the bungled CSIS interview with commentary from his lawyers, a psychiatrist who works with victims of torture, an official from the UN High Commission on Human Rights and Gar Pardy, the retired director general of Canadian Consular Affairs. Pardy, clearly troubled by the Khadr case, was responsible for helping Canadians in difficulty overseas when the young man was imprisoned.

Earlier this year, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that CSIS violated the rights of Khadr during the interrogation. But the Supreme Court also overturned lower-court orders that the federal government must try to repatriate the Toronto-born Khadr from Guantánamo.

Last week, Khadr’s lawyers told the Globe and Mail that he could be repatriated to Canada as part of a plea deal that would allow the Obama administration to avoid the international notoriety of a Guantánamo war crimes trial of a child soldier.

“I don’t know if he killed that soldier, and I don’t know what I would have done in his situation,” says Henriquez. “But he was 15 years old at the time. According to the international convention Canada has signed, he is a child soldier and needs to be protected. Canada isn’t respecting our signature of that convention.”
