A guy from the BBC is looking to do a documentary on exmuslims

He's read Simon's book (The Apostates) and approached me (and some others) through Simon looking for some apostates to be involved. I met him on Monday to have a discussion with him about what his goals are. He stated that he wants to give ex-muslims a platform to discuss their challenges with apostasy as they are currently an unheard populous.

He has already spoken to Maryam Namazie, and found two other apostates willing to appear on camera. I was pretty shocked by that considering most of us here are still hiding. But he said they were fully public about their views, and estranged from their families.

He does want to film as much of you as possible. So if you want to remain anonymous, he can use certain camera techniques like filming the back side of you so you cant be recognized, assigning a voice actor if needed. He also wants to film parts of your lives like your work, but do it in a way that wont give away where you work or show peoples faces.

Unlike Simon's situation, this is a film and therefore requires visual aspects. So anonymity will be more difficult if that's a concern for you, but there are techniques to help with it. This is an excellent way to show the world what you've been through, and what it's like to live as an apostate,

I asked him if there were going to be any bias to how we may be portrayed, and expressed my concern about it inciting hatred towards muslims. He responded that there is no bias or angle, it is simply giving us a voice.

So, if anyone is interested, please reply and I'll link him to this thread so that he may contact you.

Unfortunately, he doesn't want me to name him publicly as it may be seen in the wrong light. But feel free to PM me if you want more info.

As for myself, I'm not sure if I can appear as he requires too much personal stuff. I'm only out to my immediate family, it would cause them too much pain if the rest ever discovered what I did.
