Published: June 13, 2021, 7 a.m.

Mohamedou Ould Slahi\u2019s memoir was recently turned into a movie that has since received 6 nominations between the Golden Globes and the BAFTAs. Jodie Foster received a Golden Globe for playing Mohamedou\u2019s lawyer in The Mauritanian. Tahar Rahim played Mohamedou, and other A-listers like Benedict Cumberbatch carry major roles. Mohamedou is a Mauritanian who was detained at Guant\xe1namo Bay detention camp without a single charge for 14 years before being released. Slahi wrote the memoir that inspired the movie, Guantanamo Diaries, while imprisoned. Listen to my chat with Mohamedou and stream The Mauritanian today.
