In this week's episode, we discuss the new legal-drama film 'The Mauritanian' from Kevin MacDonald, starring Tahar Rahim, Jodie Foster and Benedict Cumberbatch. The film tells the horrendous true story of Mohamedou Ould Slahi and his imprisonment without charge in Guantanamo Bay for 14 years. Other films we chat about include Akira Kurosawa's crime film 'High and Low' (1963), coming-of-age comedy 'The Way, Way Back' (2013), Roland Joffe's religious epic 'The Mission' (1986), and the controversial new documentary 'Seaspiracy' from first-time director Ali Tabrizi.
