Jihad Rehab is a thought-provoking documentary that follows former Guantanamo detainees as they undergo rehabilitation in Saudi Arabia. The film raises important questions about radicalization, de-radicalization, and the broader implications of the so-called war on terror. Since its release in 2022, the documentary has sparked significant debate, drawing praise for its nuanced storytelling combined with criticism regarding its portrayal of its subjects.
