The Mauritanian true story confirms that Slahi was arrested two months after 9/11 in his homeland of Mauritania and taken to three different countries before being sent to the Guantanamo Bay detention camp (Gitmo) as a result of his past connections to al-Qaeda. Back in December of 1990, Slahi had traveled from Germany (where he had been attending ...
In addition to training with al-Qaeda in the early 1990s, there were a number of other red flags that led to Mohamedou Ould Slahi's detention at Guantanamo Bay. They included the following: 1. Slahi's cousin and former brother-in-law Mahfouz Ould al-Walid (aka Abu Hafs al-Mauritania) was a spiritual adviser to Osama bin Laden, the founder of al-Qae...
The Mauritanianfact-check reveals that this is what the real Mohamedou Slahi claimed in a 2006 letter to his lawyers, stating that all of his confessions were the direct result of torture. He said that asking him to recount everything he said during the seven yeasrs of interrogations would be "like asking Charlie Sheen how many women he dated." Sla...
Like in the movie, The Mauritaniantrue story confirms that Nancy Hollander (portrayed by Jodie Foster in the movie) didn't become involved in Mohamedou Ould Slahi's case until 2005, four years after his arrest. His family had reached out to her for help.
Not exactly. Foster told Hollander early on that she wouldn't be mimicking her. During an MPAC discussion, Foster said that she changed some things when creating the character. "I made her a little bit less polite," says Foster. "My Nancy is a little bit ruder than the real Nancy. The real Nancy is quite lovely."
Yes. The Mauritanian was adapted from Slahi's memoir, titled Guantanamo Diary, which he began writing in 2005 and finished in 2006, while imprisoned. It was published in 2015 while he was still being detained without charge. Each page of the memoir had to be approved by military censors and there were numerous redactions. He also wrote four other b...
No. We found no evidence of a federal agent named Neil Buckland, nor is he mentioned in Mohamedou Ould Slahi's book Guantanamo Diary. As actor Zachary Levi indicated in an interview, Neil Buckland is an amalgamation of all the people who reacted out of fear after 9/11. In the movie, Buckland is dealing with his own trauma from 9/11, which results i...
"I don't believe in violence but my whole story was violence against my body, my innocence, members of my family, and I never did anything to the U.S.," Slahi said. "My movie is a victory for nonviolence, it's a victory of the pen." Five years after his release, Slahi continues to be denied entry into the United States and the United Kingdom. He ha...
While there's little official information on the detention camp, the real Mohamedou Ould Slahi helped the filmmakers recreate Gitmo. He provided detailed descriptions of his isolation. Having paced the cells, he used his body to give the filmmakers detailed measurements of the small cages and cells he was kept in. The production also relied on agen...
While there wasn't ever enough evidence to charge him, there's no denying that Slahi's connections to al-Qaeda were suspicious. From receiving a call that had been traced to Osama bin Laden's satellite phone, to harboring Islamic terrorists overnight in his German residence, to traveling to Canada and attending the same mosque as a man who was caug...

Feb 9, 2021 · The Mauritanian's Story Doesn't Live Up to Its Powerful Central Performance. The Mauritanian is based on the memoir Guantánamo Diary by Mahamedou Ould Slahi, who spent 14 years imprisoned in the U.S. government’s facility in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, but was never charged with a crime.
The Mauritanian is a 2021 legal drama film based on the memoir of Mohamedou Ould Slahi, [5] a Mauritanian man who was held from 2002 to 2016 without charge in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, a United States military prison.
Feb 16, 2021 · This searing diary is not merely a vivid record of a miscarriage of justice, but a deeply personal memoir—terrifying, darkly humorous, and surprisingly gracious. The Mauritanian is a document of immense emotional power and historical importance. Continue Reading. Request Desk/Exam Copy.
