The President vs David Hicks
In January 2002, Australian David Hicks was picked up by the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan and handed to the US military. He was then sent to the infamous naval base in Guantanamo Bay for interrogation, and has been held there ever since, like many others, without trial. Desperate for answers and his son's freedom, father Terry Hicks traces his son's footsteps from an Adelaide ranch to Kosovo to Taliban strongholds in Pakistan. Best Documentary winner at Australia's 2005 Logies.
