Oscar-winning director Christopher Nolan has taken flak for filming scenes for an epic reimagining of Homer’s “The Odyssey” in Western Sahara, a territory occupied by Morocco. Activists warn that Morocco doesn’t give human rights observers and journalists the same warm welcome Nolan received.

She’s based in Madrid.
