Review
Somewhat confused by the storyline, although in outline it is simple enough. Lovely photography of the desert town and the desert. No explanation of where the Jihadists had come from or why, or why the people submitted to their terror - because they had guns and were allowed to claim religious and moral superiority despite being obviously as corrupt as any human.
