Five Years

Five Years is a gripping drama that delves into the psychological aspects of imprisonment, following the story of Murat Kurnaz, a young German-Turkish man who is arrested and held captive at Guantanamo Bay for five years without charge or trial. Despite his pleas of innocence, Murat is subjected to relentless interrogation techniques, physical and psychological torture, and isolation, as his interrogator, Gail Holford, pressures him to confess to terrorist activities. As the years pass, Murat's hope for freedom dwindles, and his mental state begins to deteriorate, raising questions about the human cost of such indefinite detention. The film offers a thought-provoking and emotionally charged exploration of the impact of imprisonment on the human psyche, and the fragility of our sense of self in the face of oppressive systems of power.
