A SURVIVOR of the Kenya mall terror attack which killed 67 people has blasted a film sympathetic to the woman who masterminded it.
Director Bruce Goodison has sparked fury by saying Girl Next Door, about White Widow Samantha Lewthwaite, is "unapologetically" from the jihadist's perspective.
The movie, starring Game of Thrones' Bella Ramsey, 20, is due to start filming next month but Shamim Allu, 63, shot five times in the leg in the 2013 massacre at Westgate Mall in Nairobi, is critical of the project.
She said: "There are two sides to every story, but it's difficult to understand what gives someone the strength to pull the trigger on innocent people.
"It's easy to make a movie speculating about what happened - but we were there. It creates issues of factual accuracy. If you are bleeding the story, there needs to be a human approach.
