Welcome back to Moment of Truth, Movieline’s weekly spotlight on the best in nonfiction cinema. This week we hear from Oscar-nominee Laura Poitras about her new documentary The Oath, which arrives this weekend in limited release. The oath referred to in the title of Laura Poitras’s latest doc is a fairly simple, straightforward one — a brief pledge sworn by new members upon their induction into al-Qaeda. That’s about all that’s simple about The Oath , however, which tracks two of those members who’ve since moved on: Osama bin Laden’s former bodyguard Abu Jandal, and his brother-in-law (and bin Laden’s former driver) Salim Hamdan.
