ENEMY ALIEN recommended by Booklist, purchased by universitiesWe are pleased to report that the feature documentary Enemy Alien has been recommended for educational use by Booklist Online: “This film, which allows us to see parallels between the treatment of Muslims following 9/11 and Japanese Americans in WWII, is a strong reminder of the fragility of human rights and an excellent discussion prompter.” February 19, 2012

In Memoriam: Sharin ChiorazzoOn Saturday, September 24, I took a trip down to Galloway, New Jersey for a reunion of sorts with the main people who dedicated themselves to the fight for the freedom of Farouk Abdel-Muhti (a two-year struggle retold in the documentary Enemy Alien).  Sharin Chiorazzo, Kiyoshi Chen Aderer and Konrad Aderer

ProjectsLife or Liberty is a nonprofit, multimedia project telling the stories of communities targeted under anti-immigrant policies. In the most volatile of America's WW2 concentration camps, thousands of Japanese American "disloyals" challenged their incarceration and renounced their citizenship. See how a Bangladeshi-American family targeted by Special Registration fights back. Detained by Homeland Security, Palestinian activist Farouk tells his own story from prison, as his son and supporters fight for his release.
