Featuring a post-film, virtual Q&A with director Andreas Dresen.

October 2001. Bremen, Germany. For Rabiye Kurnaz, a loving wife and mother, her close-knit Turkish-German immigrant family is the center of her world.

Shortly after her oldest son Murat goes missing, the Kurnaz’ learn that he has been arrested in Pakistan, detained without trial and sent to the Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp as a suspected terrorist.  

Rabiye immediately springs into action, but soon finds herself alone and out of her depth. Things change when Bernhard Docke, a level-headed human rights lawyer, takes on her case. Together, the two find themselves enmeshed in global politics as they battle for the release of her son, all the way to the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C.
