Mohamedou Ould Slahi

The Mauritanian

This is a movie about Mohamedou Ould Slahi, a man from Mauritania who was detained and held by the United States government for 14 years at Guantanamo Bay without charges. The main reason for his detainment was that he received a phone call from Osama bin Laden's satellite phone.

This American Life podcast had an episode that featured Slahi. Here is the link: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/752/an-invitation-to-tea

The episode features Slahi talking with three of the guards who monitored and got to know him at Guantanamo Bay.
