The United States always likes to talk about human rights in the international arena. In fact, the human rights scandals exposed in the United States have been too numerous to mention. In the 21st century, there is the famous Guantanamo case. Guantanamo, with the investment of approximately US$900,000 per prisoner per year, is known as the "world's most expensive prison", but it is famous in the world for its sexual abuse and mental torture. The film "Prisoner 760" was adapted here.
The film was starred by French actor Taha Rahim due to the popularity of "Viper" not long ago. Judy Foster, who played with him, is the winner of the Golden Globe Lifetime Achievement Award. He is the first actor in history to win the Oscar twice before the age of 30. She has played in "The Silent Lamb" and "The Storm". The performances in "Robbery Pear Flower" are all classics. In addition, there will be a surprise joining of "Volume Fu".
After being released from prison, the protagonist Muhammad Slahi wrote "My Days in Guantanamo", in which he recorded the dark life in detail. Including mental oppression, sexual abuse, physical torture, etc.
At that time, the United States had just experienced the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and the whole country was in panic. The people's desire to ban terrorist organizations was particularly strong, and the US government was under unprecedented pressure.
Therefore, the relevant departments have taken various positive measures to stabilize the people's hearts. Anxious to pursue the results, there will naturally be many unjust, false and wrong cases. The protagonist of the film, Slaxi, is that there is no substantive evidence to prove his guilt, but in this way, without a specific charge, he will come head on. It is all kinds of interrogations. This trial lasted 14 years.

Because of consistently refusing to plead guilty, the military could not reasonably execute Slashi. So Slashi was transferred to another cell. There, Slashi suffered brutal torture. During the entire interrogation period of 70 days, Slashi was tortured to become a walking dead. It was only under this extreme torture that he carried out the so-called "confession."

For such a movie that exposes the black history of a certain country, it has extraordinary significance to dare to film and restore history and to speak for the weak.
