DESCRIPTION:In February 2003, university professor and pro-Palestinian civil rights 
 activist Sami Al-Arian was arrested in Tampa, Florida, charged with 
 providing material support to a terror organization. For two-and-a-half 
 years he was held in solitary confinement, denied basic privileges and 
 given limited access to his attorneys. While the Bush administration 
 considered this a landmark case in its campaign against international 
 terrorism, Sami Al-Arian claims he was targeted in an attempt to silence 
 his political views.\n\nThe film follows Sami Al-Arian’s wife Nahla and 
 their five children throughout his 6 month-long trial. It is an intimate 
 family portrait that documents the strain brought on by the trial, a battle 
 waged both in court and in the media. In the film a tight-knit family 
 unravels before our very eyes as trial preparations, strategy and spin 
 consume their lives. This is a nightmare come to life, as a man is 
 prosecuted for his beliefs rather than his actions.\n\nShort Presentation 
 and Discussion led by Summer Hararah from the Muslim Legal Fund of 
 America.\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2013/06/18/18738656.php
