A mutual friend introduced me to a former member the Salafi who, in turn, introduced me to the community. Paradoxically, I can now say that a woman gave me communication with the Salafi. I spoke to many members of the community. I went to mosques, I talked to theologians and anthropologists. I took religion classes. I talked to women about how they felt, what they thought.
Costume designer consulted with them to choose the clothes and veils. The makeup studied the beards of the men in order to copy them. The decorators worked with the organizers of the first Wahhabi camp to build the camp ON THE ROAD. Everyone told us it was a dangerous project, but we did not have a single negative experience dealing directly with the Salafi.
