Plot: The film is based on the inspiring true story of Slahi’s fight for freedom. Alone and afraid, Slahi finds allies in defence attorney Nancy Hollander and her associate Teri Duncan who battle the US 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, reveals shocking truths and ultimately proves that the human spirit cannot be locked up.
