60 of 62 · most liked firstIf you want to see a movie based on a real case which shows the defense attorneys as the actual heroes with the actual stakes shown...The Mauritanian from 2021, starring Jodie Foster, is pretty good and surprisingly accurate. Of course irl they gave the legal awards to the prosecutor, but still.
positive · AI labelView post →I’d encourage everyone watch the movie “The Mauritanian” Very disturbing This is Last slide ⬇️ Footnote: JAG officer Ron DeSantis was there during that period to “make sure detainees rights were observed” His JOB w to make sure military obeyed laws Why did @Showtime pull his gitmo expose??
neutral · AI labelView post →One of the best books I have ever read is, Guantanamo Diary. The true story of Mohamedou Ould Slahi, detained in Guantanamo Bay without a lawyer for years! They tried to break him, they failed, their lies failed. If you don't like books, watch the film 'The Mauritanian'.

neutral · AI labelView post →And now the Columbia Spectator’s Spencer Davis interviewing Mohamedou Ould Slahi, whose account of his fourteen-year detention at Guantanamo became the film The Mauritanian. knightcolumbia.org/events/the-f...
neutral · AI labelView post →One movie, watch it now on Netflix, The Mauritanian. Jodie Foster, Shailene Woodley, Benedict Cumberbatch. If you think it can't happen here. True story. Watch it to the very end and I mean credits. Don't ever think we aren't a fascist state. You will be surprised because it includes Obama.
positive · AI labelView post →Don't know much about GITMO? A really good movie to watch is The Mauritanian with Jodie Foster. It is a 2021 legal drama film based on the memoir of a Mauritanian man who was held from 2002 to 2016 w/o charge in the GITMO detention camp. #nohumanisillegal #resist #dacasarecitizens #bluecrew

neutral · AI labelView post →I just watched The Mauritanian. I get that movie is under different Presidents,but the point re: corruption is strong. Now corruption is even deeper and more prevalent..so obvious! Our laws are meant to halt our human greed. Yet many are getting away with corruption. Freed Jan 6ers. Texas. Etc
positive · AI labelView post →Just watched the movie The Mauritanian. A man was sent to Guantanamo and tortured and held for 14 years with no charge. 14 years! The answer to your question is that you are who you always have been. What happens now is because you allowed it to happen in the past.
positive · AI labelView post →Just watch The Mauritanian a legal drama film based on the real life story of Mohamedou Ould Salahi, who was held for fourteen years without charge in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp. For some reason it seems like a precursor to recent events .
positive · AI labelView post →I did not even think of that. And think of the lives that cost us on both sides of that conflict. Utterly disgraceful. At least Gitmo, flawed as it was, had process - and appeals, including access to lawyers. The Mauritanian is a good movie about that.
positive · AI labelView post →The Mauritanian is a 2021 legal drama film based on the memoir of Mohamedou Ould Slahi, a Mauritanian man who was held from 2002 to 2016 without charge in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, a United States military prison.
neutral · AI labelView post →Anyone watched the film The Mauritanian on Netflix? If not, I would advise you to do so. It’s a true story re Guantanamo bay. Everything about it has convinced me that the USA is the Great Satan of this world. Shame on you USA! You are the terrorists!
positive · AI labelView post →"The Mauritanian" is a fantastic movie about what went on there after 9/11. Must see.......true story!
positive · AI labelView post →And here i thought i was doing good by watching The Mauritanian. An excellent movie. Shame on the US. Shame!
positive · AI labelView post →MOVIE REC: On Netflix until March 31, Jodie Foster & Benedict Cumberbatch why have I not heard of The Mauritanian before this week? Legal drama, a real Guantanamo story, from an excellent director who OMG is Emeric Pressburger’s grandchild. Tahar Rahim in the title roll is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
positive · AI labelView post →(The movie was The Mauritanian)
neutral · AI labelView post →The movie The Mauritanian ends with this guy who was at Gitmo for 7 years with zero evidence against him finding out he won. “I’m going free!” he says, high-fiving his guards. It fades & says, “He was there 7 more years because Obama appealed.” Yeah Obama was too fuckin centrist.
positive · AI labelView post →Just watched The Mauritanian on Netflix- I can imagine Trump’s Alligator Alcatraz Camp abusing the prisoners like in this movie! This was based on a true story.
positive · AI labelView post →The Mauritanian is a grueling movie to watch but it’s necessary. The US lost its way after 9/11 and never really found its way back. The fact Obama didn’t close down Gitmo (and then neither did Biden) speaks volumes.
positive · AI labelView post →Watching the movie, "The Mauritanian ." Realizing this administration is trying to complete what George Bush 2 and Donald Rumsfeld tried to do with Gitmo: deny habeas to people in US custody in an effort to hide the US government's illegal actions. We've been here before.
positive · AI labelView post →The Netflix movie “The Mauritanian” is a frightening example of what happens when inmates take over the asylum. This may be a playbook written for MAGA loving freaks like Kristi Noem.
positive · AI labelView post →The Mauritanian 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. Watched it on Netflix last night. Great movie, hard to watch what our govt will do
positive · AI labelView post →I have never shared a movie recommendation before. We live in difficult times and hence highly recommend "The Mauritanian". Quite relevant to what we are going through. www.imdb.com/title/tt4761...
positive · AI labelView post →I just watched the movie THE MAURITANIAN, about Mohamedou Ould Slahi, who was held without charges for years at Gitmo because the govt didn't have the evidence to make a case against him--and what evidence they did have was gained through torture. The situation with El Salvador is truly terrifying.
positive · AI labelView post →Watch the film "The Mauritanian." The truth about Gitmo. We started under Bush and Rumsfeld - the origin of Republican fascism.
positive · AI labelView post →I've read The Reluctant Fundamentalist and seen the movie too. The book is better— a great read. I've also watched the The Mauritanian—a disturbing must see movie about Guantanamo. Thanks for the steers on spelling. Changed.

positive · AI labelView post →Just saw The Mauritanian. Great cast. Well directed. It’s been a while since a movie got in my head like that. Lots of feelings just not sure how to put words to them yet.
positive · AI labelView post →Watch the Mauritanian movie, on Netflix. It tells a story of why due process is SO IMPORTANT! Why it is the life blood of our nation. Why everyone should stand up for due process. If we don't have due process, justice no longer exists. FOR ANYONE.

neutral · AI labelView post →Please watch The Mauritanian movie. We must NOT allow to happen for those illegally deported to El Salvador. Dehumanizing people & denying them what our Constitution guarantees just changing locations-Guantanamo to El Salvador. God help us, stop this inhumanity!
neutral · AI labelView post →Given some degree of "Netflix Algorithmic Promotion in Response-to-Events Media", [i.e. after the passing of Gene Hackman they suddenly prime positioned "Runaway Jury" (a great going to sleep movie, start after the first 5 minutes--too loud/violent)] it's depressing that "The Mauritanian" popped up.
negative · AI labelView post →www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/u... If you have time, watch the movie The Mauritanian. About how America detained an innocent man at Gitmo for 14 years without being charged and proved innocent in court. You’ll be disgusted in America!
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched "The Mauritanian" this weekend. Excellent film that made me think of an American being held in an El Salvador prison.
positive · AI labelView post →Just watched the movie The Mauritanian. It answers the question, “why a prison in El Salvador?” It also shows us that the Obama administration was just as brutal as the ones who came before. If we are going to save our country for the good of humanity, we need a new gov… of, by, & for the people.

neutral · AI labelView post →How Evil Is the American Empire?: A Review of The Mauritanian (movie) MY SAY: The Mauritanian is anti-US Military, anti-Christian, is a PSY OP that juxtaposes corrupt Alphabet Soup Secret Squirrel Shadow Warrior Spooks with Military Police. In other words: LIES.
negative · AI labelView post →Movie Review: The Mauritanian – The Future of Freedom Foundation ME: There is very little TRUTH in the film. It is anti-Christian, anti-US military. It juxtaposes the role of ABC's w/the military. Slahi CONFESSED to his participation in terrorism. This is IGNORED because he claims he was tortured.
negative · AI labelView post →CIA use media, politicians, social media to perpetrate their PSYOPs. The Movie The Mauritanian is another example. Anti-American military, anti-Christian, juxtaposes the interrogators to make you think the military tortured Slahi, not the plain clothes alphabet soup guys. The truth is the OPPOSITE.
negative · AI labelView post →Tahar Rahim and Kevin MacDonald have come some way since their first collaboration on "the Eagle" (2011). This one sees the former - Mohammed Ould Slahi - incarcerated, without charge, by the American authorities in Guantánamo Bay. His case comes to the attention of attorney Nancy Hollander (Jodie Foster) and together with her colleague Teri Duncan (Shailene Woodley) they fight tooth and nail to secure his release. Benedict Cumberbatch is their opponent, the formidable and honourable Col.…
