THE CONFESSION: LIVING THE WAR ON TERROR Director: ASHISH GHADIALI 90 mins, UK, 2016, Digital Book cinema tickets This film was released 12th August 2016, and is no longer screening. ★★★★★ – The Upcoming ★★★★ – Irish Times Exclusively at the IFI. A sustained interview with Moazzam Begg, a former detainee at Guantánamo Bay, Ghadiali’s film is a platform for the Birmingham native to present his extraordinary case history. Begg’s links to the Afghan Taliban, and his presence in Bosnia at the time of its ethnic cleansing led to his arrest: however, in spite of his incarcerations he has never been convicted of a criminal act. Stylistically the film is redolent of Errol Morris’ classic The Fog of War, though the tone is more interrogatory at times as Begg is questioned on the gaps and coincidences in his testimony. There will be Open Captioned (OC) screenings on August 17th (20.40) and 18th (13.50). Audio Description will be available on all other screenings. See www.ifi.ie/accessible for more information.
