Hollywood actress Shailene Woodley has shared the reason she said yes to the film "The Mauritanian". The upcoming legal drama, , based on true events, delves into the life of Mohamedou Ould Slahi, an innocent man captured by the US government.

On what made her accept the role, Woodley said: "To have the opportunity to be part of this story that is so real and so true for a few individuals, specifically Mohamedou, and to get it out into the consciousness of so many Americans and people around the world, I felt like it was part of my responsibility as an actor."
