The Prisoner Or - How I Planned To Kill Tony Blair DVD

During the shooting the award winning Gunner Palace Michael Tucker filmed a raid on a Baghdad house which was suspected as being the center of a plot to kill Tony Blair. Months latter Tucker returned to these events and decided to track down the men that were taken into custody that night. What he discovered was the almost surreal story of Yunis Abbas a freelance journalist who was held for eight months at Abu Ghraib even after it was determined that he was neither guilty of any crime or had any useful information.
