Filmmaker Meg Smaker's new documentary, Jihad Rehab,is both praised as a provocative look into the lives and circumstances of former Guantanamo terrorism suspects/detainees and panned because, among other reasons, Smaker is white. Some critics argue that her background and what they call a lack of representation among the ducumentary team are among the reasons they called for the film to be withdrawn from film festivals and not shown in other settings.
In this discussion, t Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism's Angel Educardo argues that the content of the film should the be only thing used to judge it.
