*Canadian Premiere* Since 9/11, suspected terrorists from around the world have been held for interrogation indefinitely and without trial at the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. But what really goes on behind the prison walls? Prompted by the detention of one of their own, Mehdi Ghezali, Sweden's Erik Gandini and Tarik Saleh set out to investigate. Getting to the base, or Gitmo (to use the US military’s own nickname), is easy enough. But the gates remain locked, phones are hung up, and stone-faced officers toe the official line. Even Ghezali – who is released during the making of the documentary – only reluctantly speaks of his experiences.

Why can an illegal immigrant with a long rap sheet appeal his deportation order and stay in Canada until it is heard? Appeals can take up to five years to be finally resolved. Enhanced border control and apprehension of illegals are only partial solutions to curbing illegal immigration. ‘The End of the Line” brings into perspective the bureaucratic machinery that is the immigration system and the level of frustration of the officers who must enforce policies and tackle conflicting priorities created by their political masters. This program also examines the apprehension of failed refugee claimants and visa overstays who often go underground while continuing to receive social benefits, it also explores the problem of illegals who make bogus applications for political asylum to avoid deportation and the apprehension and removal of war criminals.

*North American Premiere* It is one of the few systematic atrocities of the 20th century that has yet to be fully explored. Between 1915 and 1923, one of the largest genocides took place in the Ottoman Empire: nearly one million Armenians were deported and massacred. These events continue to be denied by present-day Turkey. As the 9Oth anniversary draws near, The Armenian Genocide offers a timely and compelling look, as Emmy Award–winning director Andrew Goldberg seeks out Armenian, Turkish, and American scholars to help explain the political, historical, and cultural conditions that led to the genocide. Julianna Marguiles narrates; Orlando Bloom, Ed Harris, Laura Linney, and Nathalie Portman also lend their voices.
