THE MAURITANIAN Directed by Kevin Macdonald Starring: Tahar Rahim, Jodie Foster, Benedict Cumberbatch, Shailene Woodley. “Since when did we start locking people up without a trial in this country?” – Nancy Hollander “You’ve got to see what I’ve seen.” - Lt.Colonel Stuart Couch Based on the New York Times best-selling memoir “Guantanamo Diary” by Mohamedou Ould Stahi’s fight for freedom after being detained and imprisoned without charged by the U.S. government for years. Alone and afraid, Stahi finds allies in Defence Attorney Nancy Hollander and her Associate Teri Duncan who battle the U.S. Government in a fight for justice that tests their commitment to the law and their client at every turn. Their controversial advocacy, along with evidence uncovered by a formidable military prosecutor, LT. Colonel Stuart Couch, uncovers shocking truths, ultimately proves that the human spirit cannot be locked up. Memorable performances and a powerfully awakening narrative but the overriding thing that you take with you is the torturous sequences involving Tahir Rahim as the titular ‘The Mauritanian’.
