Film Description
This first-person documentary offers a gripping inside view of the fight to free Farouk Abdel-Muhti, a gentle but indomitable Palestinian-born human rights activist detained in a post-9/11 sweep of Muslim immigrants. Told through the eyes of the filmmaker, grandson of Japanese Americans who were interned during World War II, the documentary takes on added personal and historical resonance.
No hapless victim, Farouk organizes protests with his fellow detainees, incurring abusive reprisals from Homeland Security officials and prison guards. Resistance brings consequences, as Farouk is locked in solitary confinement and his son is arrested in a counterterrorism investigation into the documentary itself.
