The film begins with Slahi's arrest in Mauritania(Northwest Africa) for his contacts with the Al-Qaeda group and he is accused of recruiting several terrorists. He is transferred to prison where he is subjected to all kinds of cruel and inhuman treatment to make him confess.
Tahar Rahim who I had the opportunity to see in the series The serpent masterfully plays Slahi to prepare his role he interviewed several times with Mohamedou.

Jodie Foster plays attorney Nancy Hollander who, despite the obstacles, seeks justice for her client. Her brilliant performance won her the 2021 Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress.
Benedict Cumberbatch plays Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Couch, the military prosecutor in charge of prosecuting Slahi and taking him to death row.
In this film we have 2 stories: Slahi's story in prison and Hollander and Couch's story in search of justice.
It is a humane, moving film of hope and forgiveness, but it is also a critical look at the human rights violation covered up by the U.S. legal system.
