Rising Up: The Alams 2005, MiniDV In this short documentary we meet the Alams, a Bangladeshi family living in Coney Island, Brooklyn. Mohammed Alam, father to two young U.S. born daughters, is one of 13,000 immigrants in deportation proceedings as a consequence of Special Registration, a post-9/11 policy which targeted nationals of predominantly Muslim countries. The documentary shows how the Alams move beyond victimization to actively fighting for change as members of South Asian community organization D.R.U.M. (Desis Rising Up and Moving). Rising Up: The Alams was produced for the non-profit media project Life or Liberty, as part of Third World Newsreel's Call For Change series. Distributor: Third World Newsreel |
