The Guantanamobile Project tries to inform and collect public opinion about the U.S. detention of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. This website serves as an information database about these detentions: it also includes video interviews bout Guantanamo and its global implications. The interviews were mostly filmed in the year following the Supreme Court decision on Rasul v Bush, as project members toured the South and Midwest in a mobile media van.

Guantanamo/bile Two Years On
In the late spring of 2004, the Guantanamobile Project first began filming interviews with the legal team involved with the upcoming Supreme Court Case regarding the indefinite detention of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. Those interviews were followed by others with human rights advocates, detainee families, and eventually with a series of 'man-on-the-street' interviews in the South and Midwest that tried to determine what, if anything, people knew about what was going on at Guantanamo.
Since then, Project members have traveled around talking about Guantanamo and showing clips from these interviews. Over the past few months, we've realized that the situation has changed so much -- and in most ways, changed for the worse -- that our documentary project needs some serious updating. We're in the process of trying to figure out who we might want to interview, and how to try to continue to tell a coherent story about Guantanamo in the wake of all that has happened over the past few months.
In the meantime, this website will continue to serve as a resource for anyone interested in finding out more about Gitmo. We will continue to update our news blog and the timeline and FAQS in the "Learn" section of the site. And many of the interviews we conducted in 2004/2005 are online and available for viewing -- just go to the "Interviews" sections for clips.
If you're interested in learning more about what we did in on the road, page through the "Project Update" weblog for a chronicle of our adventures with our mobile media van. And if you'd like to get in touch with us for any reason, contact us at followthebus@guantanamobile.org. We'd be happy to hear from you and answer any questions about the site.

New And Improved!
We've made some major changes and updates to the website over the past several weeks, including the addition of a timeline and a large selection of Guantanamo documents that have been carefully selected and annotated. Please look at the LEARN section to see all of the changes. We've also updated and annotated the LINKS page. In the INTERVIEWS portion of the site, many of our video interviews and portions of our DVD are now available online as well, though we will be updating and improving this portion of the site over the next few weeks.
