Enemy Alien and All Our Sons screening Sept 20th NYC




Join us at Maysles Cinema on Sept. 20th, Tuesday at 7:30 PM for “Enemy Alien” a new doc by Konrad Aderer, the gripping story 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, the grandson of Japanese Americans interned during World War II, this documentary takes on unprecedented intimacy and historical resonance.  Also to be screened: “All Our Sons: Fallen Heroes of 9/11”
by Lillian Benson, which profiles twelve African American firefighters who were among the World Trade Center victims on September 11th, 2001.
There will be a Q&A with Konrad Aderer after the screenings. 343 Malcolm X Boulevard / Lenox Avenue (bet 127 & 128 Sts)
