Alternative Film Guide

"Michael Winterbottom’s new feature is to become the first film to be released across all platforms simultaneously - a move that threatens to shake up the industry’s approach to distribution.

"The Road to Guantanamo, the story of the three British Muslims who were held at the US military base for two years without charge or trial, premieres today at the Berlin Film Festival. It will then be shown on Channel 4 on March 9. The day after, the film will be released online, on DVD and in cinemas." From the article "Winterbottom film makes cinema history," found in The Guardian.

If I remember it correctly, Steven Soderbergh’s Bubble hasn’t been shown on commercial television or online, yet. I’m assuming that’s what makes The Road to Guantanamo unique.

Note: Winterbottom co-directed the political docudrama with Mat Whitecross
