Product Description

Official Selection!
- International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam

Official Selection!
- United Nations Association Film Festival

By presenting interviews with government officials, legal experts and historians, Brothers and Others examines the plight of Muslims and Arabs in the United States during the aftermath of the 9/11 tragedy.

The film follows several individuals and families as they are forced to confront the heightened climate of distrust, rigorous F.B.I. and I.N.S. investigations and economic hardships that swept across the country following the attacks.

A riveting historical document, Brothers and Others vividly illustrates how fear and paranoia can result in the passage of reactionary governmental policies that compromise civil liberties and endanger the human rights of immigrants and citizens for years to come.

This review is from: Brothers and Others (DVD)

This is a living out of the saying about, they came for the "others" but because I was not the other I did not say anything.

If we who can speak out say nothing, may God help us all.

This is a truely enlighting video I hope more people see it.

Thanks
