Not Quite the Taliban

Country: Belgium, Language: Arabic | English, 70 mins

  • Director: Fadi Hindash
  • Producer: Ignace Collin; Jan Vandierendonck

CGiii Comment

The story of one man's frustration with his generation of modern Arabs who appear Western but are more conservative than the traditional Arabs. While there are many films about hypocrisy in the Middle East made by Western filmmakers, Not Quite The Taliban is the first to be made by an Arab who puts himself on the line by speaking up about the taboos, such as his homosexuality.
