The reason why a lot of Somalis from MN were against this documentary because a lot of them thought it was gonna paint our community in a negative light. During that time we were already having a lot of negative connotations like ''Minneapolis is a breeding ground for Al-shabab members'', and ''illegal immigrants'', and ''wanting shariah law in the U.S'', so a lot of Somalis from Minneapolis felt like K'naan was trying to exploit them, and feed off the negative narrative that was strong around that time.
