Art in Action interview - Filmmaker Konrad Aderer on Enemy Alien

On this edition of Art in Action we feature a conversation with filmmaker Konrad Aderer speaking on the post 9/11 film "Enemy Alien." This film documents and tells the story of Farouk Abdel-Muhti, a Palestinian activist who was detained by US authorities in the years after 9/11 in New York City. As Farouk advocated for his release from behind the bars of immigration detention jails in the NY area, Konrad followed the story and interviewed Farouk during his time in detention. Farouk passed away in 2004. I feature this interview now because since October 2003 and the start of the Israeli state's military attacks on Gaza there has been a vast opening of tactics of repression that target Palestinian communities around the world.
