An HBO documentary by Alex Gibney, ‘The Forever Prisoner’, was released on December 6 2021. The film details the treatment of Abu Zubaydah within the black sites and Guantánamo Bay. Several books, articles and reports now detail his torture, and lay bare the responsibility of many states and individuals. The director ends the film by suggesting he is not imprisoned because of what he did to us, but because of what we did to him.
