The former Guantanamo Bay detainee, Mamdouh Habib, says he hopes his film will help people understand his experiences.
Mr Habib has appeared in a film made by his son which features dramatised scenes of the torture he claims to have endured while held at a prison in Egypt before he was sent to Guantanamo Bay.
Mr HABIB plays the part of his American military captors in the movie which will be screened at a University 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.
He says the film was emotionally draining to make, but he thought it was something he had to do.
"Australian people are family. And my family here in this country have to know what has happened to me because I am part of this people, and this people is part of me. I am not going to happy if anything happens in Australia. And not only in Australia, but around the world because everybody is a human being and it shouldn't happen to anybody."
