as Nancy Hollander, the attorney who took on his case. Both actors have been nominated for Golden Globe Awards for their performances. Also starring in the film are Shailene Woodley and Benedict Cumberbatch, who is also a producer on the film.
Slahi was held in Guantanamo for 14 years without ever being charged. Authorities acknowledge he was tortured during that time. Though his memoir was published in 2015 , he was not released until 2016. In a Q&A for Variety’s Streaming Room, Macdonald spoke about how the film follows separate storylines – Mohamedou in prison, the defense attorneys fighting his case and Cumberbatch’s military prosecutor, Lt. Stuart Couch, who begins to question the case.
In that same Q&A, the actors discussed the challenges of telling a true story and playing real people. Said Foster, “With Nancy, you do feel that responsibility to make sure that you honor not just who she is, but her mission.”
