"The Response" in Arizona - By City

Chandler

June 2010 - "The Response" screening scheduled for Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in conjunction with Amnesty International's "Torture Awareness Month."

Tempe

"The Response" was screened as part of the ASU Human Rights Film Festival in April, 2011. Here's what one attendee had to say:

"The film does a notable job of sending the audience a strong message about the significance of ethics, politics and the Gitmo tribunals behind doors and more importantly the neutrality while representing these key components of the trial. This film was one which made the audience feel as if they have a say in these trials, as if they are watching it within the courtroom without any lies or rumors masking the reality and truth behind them. And that, I am assuming, was the underlying purpose of this film: for the audience to come to their own judgment, comprehension and conclusion of the Guantanamo trials. The film was a definite success at Human Rights Film Festival Arizona State University, not only is it thought-provoking but also, the impact it has had among today’s generation is resonating."
