Oscar-winning director Christopher Nolan is under fire for shooting parts of his upcoming film The Odyssey in Dakhla, a city in Western Sahara occupied by Morocco for nearly 50 years and considered a non-self-governing territory by the UN . FiSahara, the Western Sahara International Film Festival held in refugee camps, condemned the choice, warning the production may legitimize Moroccan occupation and whitewash Sahrawi repression . Activists and the Polisario Front argue the film ignores human rights abuses and restricts freedom of expression under occupation . Neither Nolan nor his team have publicly responded so far.
