THE MAURITANIAN

[Now In theaters] Directed by Kevin Macdonald and based on the NY Times best-selling memoir “Guantánamo Diary” by Mohamedou Ould Slahi, this is inspiring the 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. Nominated for two Golden Globes!

SAY HER NAME

From producers William Horberg ("The Queen's Gambit") and Juan de Dios Larraín (“A Fantastic Woman“), SAY HER NAME is based on the New York Times “Best Book of the Year” by Francisco Goldman, starring Adria Arjona (Star Wars series “Andor”) and Wagner Moura ("Narcos"). Suddenly a widower, Francisco collects everything he can about his wife Aura, hungry to keep her alive with every memory. From her childhood and university days in Mexico City with her fiercely devoted mother to her studies at Columbia University, through their newlywed years in New York City, and travels to Mexico and Europe — and always through the prism of her gifted writings — Goldman seeks her essence and grieves her loss. Humor lessens the pain as he lives through the madness of utter grief and creates a living portrait of a love as joyous and playful as it is deep and profound. Directed by Gerardo Naranjo ("Miss Bala").
