Alex Lee, co-founder and director of the Doc Edge International Documentary Film Festival, talks about the worldwide banning of Meg Smaker's feature-length documentary, "The Unredacted (Jihad Rehab)". The film follows a group of men trained by al-Qaeda who are transferred from Guantanamo and sent to the world's first rehabilitation centre for "terrorists" in Saudi Arabia. Alex talks about why New Zealand's Doc Edge was the only film festival in the world to show The Unredacted after Sundance Film Festival removed the film from its lineup and apologised for showing it because a small group of activists campaigned against the film.Tickets for Auckland screening - 26 April 2023, 6.30 PM, Sky City Theatrehttps://docedge.nz/festival/films/the-unredacted-2023/Please help Meg to get her film shown by donating here..........gofundme.com/f/the-unredacted-jihad-rehab https://jihadrehab.com/Sam Harris Podcast - A Tale of Cancellation: A Conversation with Meg Smaker - https://youtu.be/rec9wVWa1IATwitter: @Meighon
