Back To Work

As I have returned from my holiday for the summer I am rearing to start my project.


I have exhausted the many sources on the internet that offer me information which is relevant to my topic area.I wanted to add a new dimension to my research by not just looking at books and memoirs but also the world of video. In order to explore this is I have studied many documentaries which featured ex-inmates or ex-military personnel who have chosen to speak on their time at Guantanamo. This proved to be interesting but I had to be careful not to become too sidetracked with other irrelevant but fascinating information.


Also, upon the recommendation of a friend, I have recently bought the film 'Rendition', as I was advised it focused on the topic of torture and was rather compelling. Although not a reliable source of information, because of being produced in 'Hollywood', I thought it would still allow me to see the subject from a different perspective. Furthermore, which such little information out there, due to the high secrecy and confidentiality of the subject matter, all possible leads and information would be useful - even if I just use it as a reference point. 


After completing alot of research, I still await a very important and exciting source. This is in the form of an interview with a world-leading journalist, whom I managed to contact and agreed to help me. 
This will allow me to focus my research directly on my question rather than seeking out general information and trying to focus it myself.
This interview will take place over the coming weeks.


Until then I will continue to gather and condense the research I do have and any new information I may come across.
