Britain's Extradition Act 2003 allows a citizen to be sent to the United States without the government presenting any prima facie evidence, and this film tracks what that has meant for two men caught inside it. Babar Ahmad spends eight years in detention and Talha Ahsan six, both held without charge, without seeing any evidence against them, and without ever being questioned by British or American police. Director Turab Shah builds the case through interviews with lawyer Gareth Peirce, Talha's brother Hamja Ahsan, playwright Avaes Mohammad, and both men's fathers, who describe years of visits behind glass and uncertainty with no trial date attached. Talha's own prison poetry runs through the film as narration, giving the legal argument a personal voice. The case of Gary McKinnon, fought over the same law, appears alongside theirs as further evidence of the Act's one-sidedness. Produced by the Islamic Human Rights Commission, the film stays focused on what the law permits and what it costs the families living under it.
