The heartrending documentary “Waiting for Fahd,” tells the story of Center for Constitutional Rights client Fahd Ghazy, a Yemeni national unlawfully detained at Guantánamo since he was 17 and who is now 30. 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. Omar Farah from the Center for Constitutional Rights will be in attendance.
