Trailer To The Mauritanian Starring Jodie Foster, Tahar Rahim and Shailene Woodley
STXfilms has released the trailer to The Mauritanian, from Academy Award-winning director Kevin Macdonald. The film opens on February 19, 2021.
Based on the true story and New York Times best-selling memoir of Mohamedou Ould Slahi, the film stars Jodie Foster, Tahar Rahim, Zachary Levi, Saamer Usmani with Shailene Woodley and Benedict Cumberbatch.
This is the inspiring true story of Slahi’s fight for freedom after being detained and imprisoned without charge by the U.S. Government for years. Alone and afraid, Slahi (Tahar Rahim) finds allies in defense attorney Nancy Hollander (Jodie Foster) and her associate Teri Duncan (Shailene Woodley) who battle the U.S. government in a fight for justice that tests their commitment to the law and their client at every turn. Their controversial advocacy, along with evidence uncovered by a formidable military prosecutor, Lt. Colonel Stuart Couch (Benedict Cumberbatch), uncovers shocking truths and ultimately proves that the human spirit cannot be locked up.
