One could simply not miss the amazing work of acting and direction in this movie. The entire movie is driven by its screenplay and amazing directing skills of Peter Sattler.

PLOT

Cole (Kristen) and Ali (Peyman) are the two main characters in the film. The story starts off with Cole joining the armed forces to avoid her suffocating small town. She hopes for a tour of duty in Iraq. Instead, she lands up in Guantanamo bay. Camp X-ray in Guantanamo bay is where the United States keeps all its terror suspects mainly from the Arab countries. Ali, being the main character, is staying at cell number 471 in the camp. Ali tries to talk to Cole but due to the advice and orders of the superiors she avoids him. Ali gets the frequent flyer treatment, where the cell is changed every 8 hours, leading to stress and loss to sleep.

Meanwhile, Ransdell approaches Cole for an intimate relationship which Cole turns down. Ransdell being her superior transfers her to the male’s showers duty division, which is forbidden according to the Islamic tradition. All the male soldiers were busy with some incident in the D block, but there was no such incident in D block. When this comes to Cole’s attention, she emails this issue to the captain it is turned down; she was ordered to follow her superiors.
Ali undergoes some counselling from Cole for attempting suicide. Later he informs her that the last part of Harry Potter is not in the library. The movie ends abruptly where Cole is transferred, and she leaves Ali a Harry Potter book and a message.

Sattler’s direction.

Sattler’s direction and the movie’s screenplay won’t disappoint you!
