Rabiye Kurnaz gegen George W. Bush

Berlin & Beyond: Rabiye Kurnaz vs. George W. Bush

  • Turkish housewife Rabiye Kurnaz with human rights lawyer Bernhard Docke at her side on their way to the Supreme Court in Washington DC to get her son Murat out of Guantanamo

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA PREMIERE!

The battle for the release of her son Murat from Guantanamo catapults Turkish housewife Rabiye Kurnaz from her terraced house in Bremen straight into world politics and all the way to the Supreme Court in Washington. At her side is human rights lawyer Bernhard Docke – the reserved, level-headed lawyer and the temperamental Turkish mother with a wicked sense of humour – now fighting side-by-side to get Murat out.

Presented in collaboration with the Consulate General of Switzerland in San Francisco.
