I say send all of the illegal immigrants back. Let’s start with the British imperialists and their kin.
A Sikh American faces and confronts hate crimes, xenophobia, fear and deep loss in the wake of 9/11A DREAM IN DOUBT is an immigrant story of survival as a wave of deadly hate crimes terrorizes the Sikh American community in Phoenix, Arizona. The film features Rana Sodhi, an Indian immigrant whose life is forever altered by the 9/11 terror attacks, not because he knew someone who died in the rubble, but because Rana’s turban and beard now symbolize America’s new enemy. Rana’s eldest brother was America’s first post-9/11 hate crime murder victim, and other attacks on Sikhs close to Rana soon follow. The film follows Rana as he seeks vindication for the murders by working to educate fellow Phoenix-area residents about hate crimes; acting as the spokesman for his family and the Sikh community; running his gas station to support his family; and, most importantly, attempting to guard his own school-aged children bullying and harassment. A DREAM IN DOUBT tells a personal story of national tragedy, murder, family, community, and the American Dream. Dream in Doubt

Hi Cherie,
Btw, in the description it says that movie is about hardship experienced by Sikh after 9/11 and someone getting killed just because of their appearance. What does killing some based on their looks has to do with your comfort zone? “This great country was built by immigrants” |
