“The Citizens of the Wombs is a straight up, no holds barred post 9/11 snuff film, the final installment of Le Ebad’s Atrocity Exhibition trilogy.
–Caryn James, The New York Times

The Citizens of the Wombs’ story in a nutshell: Le Ebad, an internationally renowned filmmaker from Bangladesh, has made a film, The citizens of the Wombs, which was destroyed and, Ebad was arrested by the Authority.
Before Ebad was arrested, Thomas, on a commission from European Public TV, had tracked him down to make a documentary on the making of The citizens of the Womb, interviewing Le Ebad’s motley crew of hackers and, whistleblower vigilantes, who are publishing sex tapes of government officials or brutal videos of people being killed by government goons and the special para-military force…The ultra-violent, pornographic and superbly paced genre-bender gets the south asian war-on-terror drama right where it lives. The Citizens of the Wombs’ double deals and triple-takes are so intensely tricky, the blood-soaked violence so seamlessly synchronized on so many levels that it’s apt to grasp for new ethical criteria.
–J. Hoberman, Village Voice

The seamless mix of fiction and non-fiction, the hyper-real look and the mostly un-staged documentary content, in The Citizens of the Wombs, makes for a grueling viewing experience in the realm of the taboo and déclassé.
