After he is freed from the Guantanamo Bay detention center, Omar Khadr tells his story.

Marsha Lederman

Globe and Mail

For viewers with minds made up about Omar Khadr, who see him as a terrorist who should be locked away, this documentary may make for uncomfortable viewing.

Rated: 3/4

World Socialist Web Site

Whatever the serious weaknesses of Guantanamo's Child, the majority of the film is devoted to allowing Omar to speak openly about his past and present condition-unusual in the pro-war media propaganda world.

Reed and Shepherd do a reasonable job of injecting some level of balance into their straightforward retelling.

NOW Toronto

The result is a complex, nuanced and surprisingly affecting documentary that's bound to be denounced as propaganda by people who haven't watched it.

Rated: 4/5
