The Oath - Documentary about a Former Bodygaurd of Osama Bin Laden's 

DateThursday, September 16, 2010 at 02:34PM

Today he's a taxi driver in Yemen, but at one time he was a bodygaurd for Osama Bin Laden.  His Brother in Law, Salim Hamdan, whom he helped recruit into Al-Queda, is currently a prisoner at Guantonamo.  This documentary, directed by Laura Poitras, looks at the lives of these two men, and how their intersection with their past affects their lives today.  Fascinating and thought provoking stuff.
