It lacks of everything. Incomprehensible how actors like Maria de Medeiros or Jim Caviezel have agreed to participate in a documentary of such poor quality.

It is a mockery of any minimally scientific concept and rigor.

It could, perhaps, have been the starting point for a script, but the project does not even reach the quality of the first year of school.

Probably one of the worst Manuel Huerga's films.

Too much voice over to depict situation.

Such person as Pau Casals deserved a better approach.

The project deserved a better budget than a TV serial chapter as Temps de silenci (2001)

SALAFISTES is a not easy to see documentary. It didn't win the Cesar (french awarad) to the best 2016 documentary because the events in Paris - attacks to Bataclan, Charlie Hebdo ... in 2015 - they didn't want to give repercussion to the Documentary.

In Paris itself there is a big community of Salafists and who knows the effects of a bigger repercussion or diffusion diffusion of the documentray.

The documentary is hard to see but in some ways necessary to face reality. You'll wonder how they could have filmed it, how they get the permission and achieved to film some images, and it is not censored neither self-censored.
