Reminder that the The New York Times has been here before - relying heavily on a single source and failing to do basic fact checking in the name of a sensationalist story about Muslims. How long before they assign a serious editor to scrutinize that JR piece? nytimes.com/2020/12/18/bus…

#LifeafterGuantanamo 🧵 Please, help me to identify myself! For the last six years I have contacted Yemeni Governments in and outside the country, I have contacted many Yemeni Embassies around the world begging them to issue a passport for me, till that day no answer.

Grateful to International Documentary Association (IDA) who has supported nearly every film I’ve ever worked on. Hoping they can also support the Documentary Workers United and address the grievances that prompted the recent exodus #GettingReal22

Organizing & Bargaining Committee Members Bam and Kristal Sotomayor (She/They/Ellx) served on a panel at Getting Real about union organizing in the documentary industry! #StandWithIDAStaff✊🏽 Thank you to their leadership in representing Documentary Workers United in this panel.

"Further still, why did the The New York Times focus so much on indy filmmakers such as Boundaoui, rather than former Guantanamo detainees who had written an open letter explaining the harms caused by the film..." appreciate you Dr Asim Qureshi 🏞️➡️🌊🇵🇸🕊️ for this lucid analysis 🙏

Imagine your film being criticized on ethical grounds and instead of responding to the criticisms, you make alliances with right wing media who happily reduce real ethical problems to identity politics. You don’t have to imagine, it’s happening.

Tonight on POV on PBS! Congrats to @naushero and all the folks who contributed to this beautiful, necessary film!! 👏👏

Folks- please see this powerful film made by @naushero #AnActOfWorship is a fierce challenge to decades of American Islamophobia.

🧵Meg Smaker who produced the documentary #JihadRehab along w/ her supporters have cried #CancelCulture b/c of the criticism she's gotten. To challenge this idea, highlight ethical concerns, & provide tips for journos, I wrote this piece in NBCU Academy nbcuacademy.com/catalog/jihad-…

People who have been shut out of power finding each other and raising their voices collectively is not “cancel culture.” It’s been sad to see our own doc community fall prey to this false narrative these past weeks, but this article is the antidote: theguardian.com/film/2022/oct/…

Community organizers Adama Bah (@nenealamo) and @PowerMalu have been greeting the thousands of migrants arriving in New York City on buses sent by Texas Governor Greg Abbott and other far-right Republican governors. "It's our job as New Yorkers to welcome them," says Malu.

Ten years ago I was interviewed by Democracy Now! and today proudly wearing purple I was interviewed again for something different. It's my turn to give back!

Community organizer Adama Bah (@nenealamo), who came to the U.S. at age 2 from Guinea, explains how Black migrants are discriminated against in the immigration system.

We invite Sundance Film Festival festival attendees wanting to provide feedback on lack of #accessibility like this to invest 15-min completing the Accessibility Scorecard to ensure disabled filmmakers have access to critical industry events: fwd-doc.org/film-event-acc… #Sundance

How did a thriving comfortably-in-the-green org like IDA run this large a deficit in a year? I'll start. By hiring union-busting law firms and a litany unqualified contractors
