 Enemy Alien at the Chicago Palestine Film Festival and the DisOrient Asian American Film Festival of Oregon
Directed by Japanese-American filmmaker Konrad Aderer, Enemy Alien is the gripping story of the fight to free Farouk Abdel-Muhti, a Palestinian-born human rights activist detained in a post-9/11 sweep of Muslim immigrants.
"A moving documentary... connecting Abdel-Muhti's imprisonment to Aderer's own family history and the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II."
--David L. Wilson, Monthly Review Zine
