Terrorism meets cancel culture. Lots of infighting and backstabbing in the Gitmo film business. Each one insists that their vision is true and the other insults them. Former al Qaeda members sell paintings and make films while MBS lops heads in KSA. People...focus.
Plenty of Gitmo folks have entered the victim art business. Their stories are horrific. Plenty of sad stories. But making film makers as the enemy for humanizing them is the most bizarre perversion from members of a group that worshipped image projection.wikileaks.org/gitmo/prisoner…
The books and films are an attempt to tell a story, a form of interrogation and evidence gathering. Many claim they were innocent. Many admit they were guilty and hope people forgive them. Why work work to ban a film where Gitmo folks tell their story? theintercept.com/2021/08/17/gua…
Latest cancel culture war is #JihadRehab in which a film about rehabilitating terrorists suddenly requires banning the film by people who haven't seen it. I remember when my in depth interview with John Walker Lindh meant I had "entrapped" him after bringing him medical care. 
Greg Barker did a great doc about my interview and the story of Lindh in a film called Detainee 001. I suppose he could have used some of those culture cancel vultures to pump up the ratings. vulture.com/2021/09/greg-b…
