Product Description
From the director of the Oscar-nominated My Country, My Country, The Oath is a spectacularly gripping documentary that unfolds like a great political thriller. It's the crosscut tale of two men whose fateful meeting propelled them on divergent courses with Al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, 9/11, Guantanamo and the U.S. Supreme Court.

Abu Jandal is a taxi driver in Sana'a, Yemen; his brother-in-law Salim Hamdan is a Guantanamo prisoner and the first man to face the controversial military tribunals. Jandal and Hamdan's intertwined personal trajectories - how they became Bin Laden's bodyguard and driver respectively - act as prisms that serve to explore and contextualize a world that has confounded Western media. As Hamdan's trial progresses, his military lawyers challenge fundamental flaws in the court system. The charismatic Jandal dialogues with his young son, Muslim students and journalists, and chillingly unveils the complex evolution of his belief system post-9/11. Winner of Best Documentary Cinematography at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, The Oath offers a rare window into a hidden realm and into the international impact of the U.S. War on Terror.

I recently watch it. While somewhat interesting, I wouldn't have given it any awards at Sundance.

I recently watch it. While somewhat interesting, I wouldn't have given it any awards at Sundance.

Well, the description says it won for best cinematography, which isn't really that prestigious of an award. I haven't seen it so I can't comment. I watch a lot of documentaries, but I haven't even heard of this one before.
