The movie was very well done. It got your attention from the first moment until the end. I thought the actors did an incredible job. It was nice to see the real people at the end and made me appreciate how well the actors did in portraying their character. This movie definitely made me want to know more about this individual and the events of this story. I will be looking into it further.

I think The Mauritanian gives a very insightful look at the extent governments will go to coverup how the treat prisoners. Here in the United States and other countries around the world. Doing all that can be done to get false witness against anyone. The end does not justify the means, which is something brought to light in this movie. This is a true story from the story told in the book Guantánamo Diary, written by Mohamedou Ould Slahi. It tells of his experiences in Guantanamo Bay. Maybe one day we will learn to treat each others as humans and respect deserved until the facts are proven.

An eyeopening and heartbreaking portrayal of how governments collect confessions from prisoners.

tremendous film.
