Based on true story. November 2001,
] is in ], two months after 9/11. He is shown attending a family wedding with dancing and singing. A man takes him aside and whispers something in his ear that worries him. He goes outside where a Mauritanian policeman tells Mohamedou that Americans want to talk with him. Mohamedou agrees to go with them. Mohamedou’s mother is distraught.

], February 2005, lawyer Nancy Hollander meets a French lawyer, Emmanuel, for lunch, and he tells her that a lawyer from Mauritania approached his firm in Paris on behalf of Mohamedou’s family. They haven’t seen Mohamedou since he was arrested three years ago and only just found out in a newspaper that he is being held by the US at ] in ] and is accused of being one of the organizers of 9/11. Emmanuel asks Nancy to look into it because she has security clearance from a previous case and can ask questions he can’t. Nancy agrees to check and later tells her colleagues at a meeting that she wants to take the case on pro bono.

At a Naval Law Conference in ], Marine Prosecutor ] is recognized and called aside by Colonel Bill Seidel, who asks to talk to him about a new case. Seidel tells Stu the case they want him to prosecute is Mohamedou, who they say fought with ] in the 90s and then recruited for them in Germany, and says it was Mohamedou who recruited the terrorist who flew Stu’s friend’s plane into the tower. This will be the first death-penalty case of the court. Stu asks when to start.

Nancy and Teri fly down to ] to meet Mohamedou. Nancy explains to Mohamedou that they are there because they wish to represent him. He seems reluctant to trust them, even though Nancy makes clear they are not in any way related to the US government. She explains that the Supreme Court ruled that the detainees of Guantanamo have the right to habeas corpus, meaning that the government needs to prove they have the evidence against them in order to keep them prisoner. Otherwise, they have to release them. Mohamedou asks how they can defend him when he hasn’t even been charged with anything in 3 years. He says he was kidnapped and taken to a prison in ] and then ] before being brought here in chains and that he is interrogated 18 hours a day. He says the only evidence they’ve shown him is that he once answered a call from Bin Laden’s satellite phone but that it was his cousin, and he didn’t know what phone it was. He is afraid to talk to them in case the guards are listening, so Nancy suggests he write it down, and if he hires them, anything he writes to them will be protected by the attorney-client privilege. Mohamedou agrees to hire them as his lawyers.

Stu is going over the information they have about Mohamedou with his team. He got a scholarship to study engineering in ] in ’88, and two years later went to Afghanistan and joined Al-Qaida. They talk about his cousin, Mahfouz, who was named Bin Laden’s spiritual advisor, and another man, Ramzi bin al-Shibh, who is called the 20th hijacker but didn’t take part in 9/11, and who says Mohamedou recruited him and other hijackers in Germany. Stu tells his team to go through all the intel reports they have to corroborate the story against Mohamedou and that they have to be exacting and thorough because otherwise, he might get away with it.

Teri and Nancy go to a secure facility in ]. Kent, who works there, explains that anything they want to take back to the office or use in court has to be read and cleared by him or another member of the Privilege Team, but that they are not allowed to share anything with the prosecution. We see Mohamedou writing to them and sealing his letters in envelopes with tape to prove they haven’t been tampered with, then Nancy and Teri reading what he’s written at the secure facility.

Stu’s team finds out Nancy is representing Mohamedou. One of Stu’s colleagues tells him the case files he’s reading are confusing, and Stu says intel files are always contradictory and muddled, but you have to organize them by date and sort them out. The colleague says that’s the point because Mohamedou’s interrogators didn’t put any dates on the files. Stu sees that an old friend of his, Neil Buckland, signed off on a lot of the reports. He meets Neil and asks if Neil can tell him anything about Mohamedou’s case files. Neil explains that what Stu is reading in his case files are the intelligence reports that summarize what was said and done, but the MFRs (Memorandum for the Record) are the notes of what actually happened in real time. Stu wants to see them, but Neil says they are classified, and anyway, everyone saw what they did on TV, indicating 9/11.

October 2005, Nancy and Teri enter the secure facility to find boxes and boxes of files because the government has complied with the Freedom of Information request. However, when they open them, they find that every line of every file has been redacted and blacked out. Meanwhile, Stu is looking through those same files which are unredacted, at his office. Stu goes over to Neil’s house. Neil again says he can’t tell him anything classified and can’t get the MFRs, but Stu says if he doesn’t find something that definitively proves what Mohamedou said, he will go free. Neil suggests Stu go down to Gitmo himself and talk to the man in charge, General Mandel.

Nancy and Teri meet with Mohamedou again. Teri mentions that the Privilege Team loves reading his letters. Mohamedou freaks out that someone else has been reading his words, but they calm him down and ask his approval to sue the government for access to their files. Mohamedou is upset because he thinks it means they don’t believe he is innocent. Nancy tries to say it’s just about procedure, but Teri reaches out and reassures him they believe him. He agrees to sue.

At the airport, Nancy is recognized by Stu, who is there to meet the general. He introduces himself and asks her to have a drink. She asks Stu why he’s keeping the case files from her, and he seems surprised and says he’s not. She tells him about the redacted files, and he says she should sue to see them, and that he actually wants her to have them so that when he wins in court there will be no doubt about Mohamedou’s guilt. He asks why she’s defending someone like that, and she says she’s all defending the law, and asks what he’ll do if it turns out they’ve built this place and abandoned their principles, and it turns out they were wrong.

Later, Stu meets with General Mandel. The General says he knows Stu wants to see the MFRs, but he can’t allow it, and he wasted his trip.

Back in his office, Stu hears shouting down the hall and finds that one of his colleagues isn’t being allowed into the building because his clearance has been revoked. Stu asks why and the colleague says the only thing he did was file the information requests Stu had asked for, and now he has to leave the case, which freaks Stu out.

2008, Teri and Nancy go to court to argue for access to the government’s files. Nancy successfully argues that the government should release the files, and the judge orders them to hand them over in ten days. When they go the secure facility, there are tons of boxes of files again, this time unredacted. They start going through them. Teri starts to freak out because she finds copies of confessions Mohamedou has written and signed, admitting to everything the government is accusing him of. Nancy goes to visit Mohamedou. Nancy brings up the confessions but Mohamedou isn't direct with her. She leaves, telling him to either tell her what happened with his confessions or he will have to find a different lawyer.

Stu is in his office at night. Neil shows up, having had a change of heart, and explains that ] authorized them to use torture and that an aide will take Stu to a room where he can read the MFRs. Nancy reads Mohamedou’s letter which she just received from him while Stu looks at the reports, showing what exactly happened. Flashback shows enhanced torture and treatment including sexual assault with Mohamedou by the Guantanamo guards as ordered by General Mandel. A bloody, exhausted Mohamedou is then revisited by General Mandel, who says his mother has been arrested and will probably be raped if she comes here. Mohamedou prays in his cell, then tells the guard he would like to confess.

Stu is horrified by what he has read, and Nancy has tears in her eyes. She brings the letter to Kent to read and declassify but tells him to be very careful, since it puts her client in a vulnerable position. Stu finds Colonel Seidel in the parking lot at work and tells him that he can’t bring charges against Mohamedou because his confessions were given under torture and thus inadmissible and that what happened to him was reprehensible.

Stu meets Nancy and she tells him that she’s figured out why they put Guantanamo down there out of US jurisdiction. It wasn’t to keep the prisoners out of court, but their jailers. Her client isn’t a suspect but a witness. Stu tells her to take a look in a specific box of files, because she’ll like what she finds. The next day Teri comes to work and finds an envelope on her desk. Inside is proof that Mohamedou passed a lie detector test twice. She talks to Nancy, who says it was filed in the box Stu told her about and that even though it’s not admissible in court, it shows he was telling the truth.

December 2009. Mohamedou’s case is at trial, with Stu’s coworkers prosecuting. Mohamedou is able to testify over video link to the court. March 2010, Mohamedou gets a letter and finds out his case was successful, and the judge has ordered that he be released. Text is shown telling us that it would actually be another 7 years before he was released, because the government appealed. His mother died in 2013, and he never saw her again. Throughout that time, Nancy and Teri kept visiting him and helped him publish his letters as a book, Guantanamo Diary, in 2015. He was finally released in 2016, having spent 14 years in prison without ever being charged. We see him being taken out of his cell and walked to a military plane.

Finally, footage of the real Mohamedou arriving back in Mauritania is shown. Texts are shown, telling us Mohamedou lives in Mauritania and got married in 2018 to an American lawyer. They have a baby son, Ahmed, but haven’t been able to live together as a family and are hoping a country will grant them protection and citizenship. Nancy and Teri are still lawyers working against injustice, and we see footage of Mohamedou giving them necklaces with their names in Arabic.

The Mauritanian is a 2021 legal drama film directed by Kevin Macdonald from a screenplay written by M.B. Traven, Rory Haines, and Sohrab Noshirvani. The film is based on the 2015 memoir Guantánamo Diary by Mohamedou Ould Slahi, a true story of Slahi's experience of being held for fourteen years without charge in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp. The film stars Jodie Foster, Tahar Rahim, Shailene Woodley, and Benedict Cumberbatch.

The Mauritanian was released in the United States on February 12, 2021 by STXfilms. In the United Kingdom, where all cinemas were closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the planned theatrical release was cancelled and the film premiered on Amazon Prime Video on April 1, 2021. It received mixed reviews from critics, but the performances of Rahim and Foster were praised. At the 78th Golden Globe Awards the pair were nominated for Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama and Best Supporting Actress – Motion Picture, respectively, with Foster winning. At the 74th British Academy Film Awards the film received five nominations, including Best Film.

Premise

The film follows Mohamedou Ould Slahi (Rahim), who is captured by the U.S. government and is languishing in Guantanamo Bay detention camp without charge or trial. Losing all hope, Slahi finds allies in defense attorney Nancy Hollander (Foster) and her associate Teri Duncan (Woodley). Together, they face countless obstacles in a desperate pursuit for justice. Their controversial advocacy, along with fabricated evidence uncovered by formidable military prosecutor, Lt. Colonel Stuart Couch (Cumberbatch), eventually reveals a shocking and far-reaching conspiracy.

Cast

Production

The film was announced in November 2019. Kevin Macdonald signed on as director, with Benedict Cumberbatch, Jodie Foster, Tahar Rahim and Shailene Woodley cast to star. Filming began December 2 in South Africa. In December 2019, Zachary Levi joined the cast of the film.

The film was originally known as Guantánamo Diary in its early development stages, and as Prisoner 760 during production, before being described as untitled in post-production. In November 2020, the title was revealed to be The Mauritanian.

Release

In August 2020, STX Entertainment acquired U.S. distribution rights to the film. STX International will release the film in the United Kingdom and Ireland and pre-sold the international distribution rights at the American Film Market in November 2019. The film was released in the United States on February 12, 2021 in theaters, with a digital demand release following on March 2, 2021.

Reception

Box office

As of April 1, 2021, the film has made $835,724 domestically and $2,500,000 internationally, for a global total of $3,335,724.

In its opening weekend the film made $163,789 from 245 theaters, and $179,778 over the four-day President's Day weekend. In its second weekend of release the film made $137,072 from 287 theaters. In its third weekend, the film fell a mere 12.3% and made $120,192. In its fourth weekend, the film made $90,004.

Critical response

Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 73% of 192 critic reviews were positive, with an average rating of 6.50/10. The website's critics consensus reads: "The Mauritanian takes a frustratingly generic approach to a real-life story that might have been inspirational in other hands, but Tahar Rahim's performance elevates the uneven material." According to Metacritic, which sampled 30 critics and calculated a weighted average score of 54 out of 100, the film received "mixed or average reviews".

Leaf Arbuthnot, writing for Tatler, described the film as 'excellent', praising in particular the performances of Jodie Foster and Tahar Rahim as 'impeccable'.
