Guantanamo's Child is a Canadian documentary film, released in 2015.[3] Directed by Patrick Reed and Michelle Shephard based on Shephard's 2009 book Guantanamo's Child: The Untold Story of Omar Khadr, the film profiles Omar Khadr, a Canadian citizen whose conviction on disputed war crimes charges and incarceration at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp has been a prominent political issue in Canada.[4]
The film was produced by White Pine Pictures, in association with Al Jazeera and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.[4] This documentary is an expanded version of a television program that aired on CBC in May 2015 called Omar Khadr: Out of the Shadows.[5] A version of the film aired on Al Jazeera English in June 2015.[6] It had its world premiere at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival.[3][4][5] At the 2015 Calgary International Film Festival, the film won the Audience Choice Award for Best Documentary Feature.[7] In December, the film was announced as part of TIFF's annual Canada's Top Ten screening series of the so-called ten best Canadian feature films of the year.[8]
