Kristen Stewart Plays a Guantanamo Guard in 'Camp X-Ray'

The Leonard Lopate Show | Oct 15, 2014

Director Peter Sattler and actress Kristen Stewart tell us about their new film "Camp X-Ray." It’s about a young woman who joins the military and ends up as a new guard at Guantanamo Bay, where her mission is far from black and white. She strikes up an unusual friendship with one of the detainees, and as two people on opposite sides of a war, they struggle to find their way through the ethical quagmire that is Guantanamo Bay. "Camp X-Ray" opens October 17 in theaters and on VOD.
