Waiting for Fahd: One Family's Hope for Life Beyond Guantánamo

The heartrending documentary “Waiting for Fahd,” tells the story of CCR client Fahd Ghazy, a Yemeni national unlawfully detained at Guantánamo for 14 years. Through moving interviews with his beloved family in Yemen, “Waiting for Fahd” paints a vivid portrait of the life that awaits a man who, despite being twice cleared for release, continues to languish at Guantánamo, denied his home, his livelihood, and his loved ones because of his nationality.
The film was released in 2014, and in 2016, after spending more than a third of his life unjustly detained, the U.S. government transferred Fahd to Oman.
