“HHHH! COMPELLING! An illuminating...portrait of the War on Terror’s lasting effects.”–Keith Uhlich, TIME OUT NEW YORK (Critic's Pick)
From the director of the Oscar®-nominated My Country, My Country, The Oathis a spectacularly gripping documentary that unfolds like a great political thriller. It’s the crosscut tale of two men whose fateful meeting propelled them ondivergent courses with Al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, 9/11, Guantanamo and the U.S. Supreme Court. Winner of Best Documentary Cinematography at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, The Oath offers a rare window into a hidden realm—and into the international impact of the U.S. War on Terror.
“FASCINATING! Poitras’s movie digs deep; it hints at theviolently conflicting drives that an intelligent human being may beliable to.” –David Denby, THE NEW YORKER
“GRADE A! Has the propulsive air of a courtroom thriller!”–Stephen Schaefer, BOSTON HERALD
“OUTSTANDING! THE OATH is a film about a man who isan enigma—and about the confusion, not the clarity, that is theaftermath of 9/11 .” –Ella Taylor, THE VILLAGE VOICE
