The dramatic, intimate story of the two-year struggle to free Palestinian activist Farouk Abdel-Muhti, who was detained in a post-9/11 roundup of Muslim immigrants, told from the perspective of a young Japanese filmmaker born to a family interned during World War II. This intimate, revelatory film takes on profound personal and historical implications as Farouk, his son and the filmmaker each pay a personal price for resisting wartime policies.
