MPAA Kills Road To Guantanamo Poster

The poster depicts a hooded man hanging by cuffed wrists. Yes, pretty much the same image we've seen on every morning talk show that moms tune into while junior eats his Captain Crunch. Too bad it ever happened? Absolutely yes. Too bad we have to see it? Let me put it this way: has hiding the truth ever really worked? And truth be told, our mainstream media has often used these images when they really weren't... necessary.

The Road To Guantanamo is a documentary. A documentary about enemy combatants detained at Guantanamo. The image reflects the reality of that situation. For it? Against it? Doesn't matter. This is the reality of Guantanamo and our Post-911 world. And some folks made a documentary about the events. See it. Don't see it. But let's not act like it never happened.

Good news is I heard nothing about the filmmakers having to cut The Road To Guantanamo. And the approved poster is still quite powerful.
