[POV Magazine @POVmagazine]

The @nytimes article on JIHAD REHAB is a reminder that as critics, programmers, filmmakers, and audience members in the documentary field, it is our job to question everything we see. That isn’t censorship. It’s active viewing, and it’s our responsibility. https://t.co/IyN15ssdSW
