A young woman (Kristen Stewart) joins the military to be part of something bigger than herself and her small-town roots, but ends up as a rookie guard at Guantanamo Bay. Her mission is far from black and white, as she is surrounded by hostile jihadists and aggressive male squadmates. When she strikes up an unusual friendship with one of the detainees (Payman Maadi), both of their worlds are forever shifted.
"CAMP X-RAY is worth seeing, if not for its criticism of US military practices, then for the only film performance by Stewart that I think doesn’t suck – although she still bites her bottom lip about a hundred times." (www.slugmag.com)
"An excellent cast supported by a wonderful script and perfectly crafted pacing makes this film truly remarkable and an absolute must-see." (www.flickeringmyth.com)
