To be clear - I was responding as to why you might view anything from Al Jazeera with a hint of circumspection, not why there might be a problem with this specific film.
As for the "material reality" of the piece. The factual credibility isn't easily verified - it does not, as far as I can make out, make its source material available for analysis. How are we to know what has been left out.
And the professional presentation is utterly irrelevant. Except, perhaps, as a salutary reminder that just because it looks pretty, that doesn't mean it can be taken at face value.
The producers, in their own words, do "not to report the news but [...] make the news.". That suggests to me that circumspection is in order.
Thank you for telling me that I am slave to my prejudice on this though. Perhaps you could take the time to show me what that prejudice is? So that I can improve myself.

can you pinpoint how do the illiberal theocratic views surface from this particular piece of quality investigative journalism?
should we just look at the material reality of the piece (factual credibility, professional presentation etc.) and not let our prejudice take control?
