Benedict Cumberbatch says he plans to call on Joe Biden to close Guantanamo Bay following his latest movie "The Mauritanian."
Speaking to The Independent, Cumberbatch explained America’s controversial relationship with Guantanamo Bay in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, ultimately arguing that he feels it’s beyond time to close down the facility. "It was a global act of terror on an ideal – an ideal [that] lives geopolitically in many parts of the world. And of course, it’s more acute – most acute in New York, in the intelligence services, who feared that there was going to be another attack," he said of the political climate in 2001. "That the water was poisoned, the air was poisoned. Just so much fear."More Related News
