Since that tragic day, Saudis living in America came under scrutiny as many Americans wondered about Saudis; who are they; what are they doing in the US; do they hate America; do they support Osama Bin Laden; how do they feel about 9/11; and most importantly why do they oppress their women?
Saudi filmmaker Fahmi Farahat takes his camera and invites us into his own life in an attempt to answer these questions. He captures the views and attitudes of his family and friends, who are either living or visiting the US, through which he explores the many issues that surround Saudis in America.
The film is Produced by Ahmad Zahra and Executive Produced by Mohannad Malas. Other credits include Director of Photography John Taylor and Music Composer Vicente Avella who starts the opening sequence of the film with his own rendition of the Star Spangled Banner, a fusion of Arabic and Western style music. The film also features the song My Favorite Passages by Ani from her latest Album One. | | | Product Details: | | | Actors:

By T. Johanny Very slow, boring, and unoriginal.
An element lowering the quality of this documentary wanna be; is the lack of diversity from the interviewee's and more importantly the quality of questions raised from the interviewer.
The Film-Maker stops short of interviewing anyone other than his family and friends in his direct geographic location (So Ca); which is itself is a very flawed data gathering method.
All the people that participated in the interviews (not more than 10 people total) were hard to understand (Heavy accent), and didn't answer any questions with depth.
If you like to watch bad film making, about people that don't present anything smart, useful, funny, or in any way or shape entertaining; then this DVD is for you !
Not worth the time or money, I wish I could get both back !
