After 9/11, the USA caused Mohamedou Ould Slahi to be removed from his homeland and transported to the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, where he was kept for 14 years and two months, undergoing extreme forms of interrogation (amounting to torture), then was eventually released, never having been charged with any crime due to lack of firm evidence. Now read that again:- After 9/11, the USA caused Mohamedou Ould Slahi to be removed from his homeland and transported to the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, where he was kept for 14 years and two months, undergoing extreme forms of interrogation (amounting to torture), then was eventually released, never having been charged with any crime due to lack of firm evidence. How much impression did reading that make on your emotions? I guess not a great deal. Now go and see this movie to help you imagine what it must have been like. Whether or not it's a true reflection of both sides of opinion, it's a sobering watch. Sometimes, the written word just isn't enough - thank heaven for good movies.

REVIEW - THE MAURITIAN The Mauritanian is a 2021 legal drama film based on the true story of Mohamedou Ould Slahi, a Mauritanian man who was held for fourteen years (from 2002 to 2016) without charge in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, a United States military prison. Of 779 prisoners held there only 8 were found guilty of crimes. This shocking story shows what happens in Guantanamo Bay to prisioners held there. There are not many films that actually have the power to move me and this did in many ways from the torture used to get a false confession to the sheer ignorance of follow a legal system. Very powerful and disturbing film but one to definitely watch as soon as you can. Rating 10 out of 10.

This is much better than I was expecting. Not taking any sided, not pc, focuseing not only in one Administration, very balanced, good performances. Liked it very much and I think Jodie Foster should have been nominated to Oscars instead of Glenn Close or Amanda Seyfried.

Eye opening, the book has to be on your list, its on mine. Brutal but a must see for us all I reckon. Very well done, no fluff straight to it. Obama and Biden should hang their heads in shame forever more.

Given it's a real case and I believe in any single details in the movie. Even criminal have rights for trial but not for a suspect in this case. It's quite irony a country advocate human rights happen such a case. Tip of the iceberg of victim case I wonder.
