Directed by Mary Billyou22m
A short documentary about Mohamed Yousry, a naturalized American citizen whose life changed radically after September 11, 2001. Mohamed immigrated to the United States in 1980. For the next twenty years, he developed a full and happy life, as a husband, father, and academic. On September 13, 2001 Mohamed was approached by the FBI on his doorstep in Queens, NY. After appeal processes and an attempt to extradite him, Mohamed was sentenced to four years in a federal penitentiary in Fort Worth, TX. There, he was one of two Arabs in the prison population. Since his release, with the help of his friends and family, he is trying to piece his life together again.
