What is The Oath (2010) about?

Abu Jandal is a taxi driver in Yemen and a free man, while the man he recruited, his brother-in-law Salim Hamdan, is the first man to stand trial before the controversial Military Commissions at Guantanamo Bay Prison. Abu Jandal and Hamdan’s intertwined personal trajectories – how they became bin Laden’s bodyguard and driver respectively – act as prisms that serve to explore and contextualize a world which has confounded the Western media. As Hamdan’s trial progresses, his military lawyers challenge the court system, while back in Yemen the charismatic and elusive Abu Jandal dialogues with his young son, Muslim students and journalists in a chilling revelation of his personal post-9/11 belief system. THE OATH offers unsettling glimpses of the international impact of the U.S. War on Terror and a rare window into the world of Al-Qaeda.
