Summary
The true story of Slahi's fight for freedom after being detained and imprisoned without charge by the U.S. Government for years.

Their controversial advocacy, along with evidence uncovered by a formidable military prosecutor, Lt. Colonel Stuart Couch, uncovers shocking truths and ultimately proves that the human spirit cannot be locked up
