A young woman joins the military to be part of something bigger than herself, but ends up as a new guard at Guantanamo Bay instead, where her mission is far from black and white. Surrounded by hostile jihadists and aggressive squadmates, she strikes up an unusual friendship with a detainee.

Kristen Stewart delivers a remarkable performance opposite Peyman Moaadi in this engrossing debut from writer-director Peter Sattler. Set in at the Guantánamo Bay prison, Camp X-Ray tells an affecting and intimate story that focuses on the human component of a provocative subject.
