It shows a very unpopular side of Jordan. (One of the reasons it received little or no publicity in Jordan, is because the Government doesn't want this side to be known about Jordan.) But I don't think it emphasized stereotypes to gain audiences or popularity or at all, it shows one man and his family in their struggles for life. It is (very) slow at times. If you are expecting an exciting film, this isn't for you. The film shows the daily grind that can be very unattractive. The whole - what makes a terrorist bit - is Western-centric and should be changed, but the film as a whole humanizes these "terrorists." Just the opposite of the what the Western media does.
