Description

Join us virtually or in-person to honor and commemorate the events of 9/11 featuring Lt. Col. Stuart Couch. Mohamedou Ould Salahi spent 14 years at Guantanamo Bay despite never being charged with a crime. Picked up shortly after 9/11, he was accused of being one of the key recruiters for the attacks despite almost no evidence that he was directly related.in person With almost no evidence and no charges, the U.S. government held Salahi for years and Attorney Nancy Hollander’s (played by Jodie Foster) cause starts with a simple habeas corpus case, wherein the government would have to charge Salahi or let him go. She recruits an associate named Teri (Shailene Woodley) to assist with the case and begins uncovering more and more dark truths about Guantanamo. On the other side, Lt. Colonel Stuart Couch (Benedict Cumberbatch) seeks to defend the government’s case but discovers the depth of his own country’s crimes. Join us virtually or in person to honor and commemorate the events of 9/11 featuring Lt. Colonel Stuart Couch. We strongly encourage viewing The Mauritanian prior to attending this event.
