Brothers and Others

(54 mins) The atrocities witnessed by the world on September 11th were hateful acts committed by terrorists who choose to view their victims not as human beings but as symbols of a perceived evil. By jailing thousands of Arabs and Muslims without evidence or due process, is the Patriot Act perpetuating the cycle of hate and ignorance which claimed so many innocent lives? Brothers and Others chronicles the impact of 9/11 on Muslims and Arabs in America. We follow immigrants and Americans as they struggle in the heightened climate of hate, FBI and INS investigations, and the economic hardships that erupted following the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
