The former Guantanamo Bay detainee, Mamdouh Habib has appeared in a film made by his son which features dramatised scenes of the torture he claims to have endured.
Mr Habib plays the part of his American military captors in the movie which will be screened in SYDNEY this weekend.
His son Ahmed plays the part of his father and is shown blindfolded, receiving electric shocks and suffering hammer blows to his fingers.
Mr Habib says he hopes the film will help people understand his experiences in the U.S. detention centre.
He was arrested in Pakistan in late 2001 on suspicion of having prior knowledge of the September 11th attacks.
He maintains he was tortured in prison in Egypt before being sent to Guantanamo Bay.
