The subject of this documentary and the fact it is apparently a sundance winner gave me so much hope for it, but to no avail. This ridiculously short documentary has no substance and explains nothing as to why this man became an extremist, and nothing as to his life as an extremist, It also does not even vaguely explain why so many of his friends thought he was an FBI informant, which could alone make an amazing documentary due to the extreme tactics the FBI use to create informants to exploit non-extreme muslims. to say I was disappointed is an understatement, part of me feels like the only reason this has any critical acclaim is because of the fact that everyone interviewed is in a comical/sinister mask, suggesting they are actually divulging sensitive information, which they arent. Poor, poor documentary, I wouldnt even bother.
