USA vs Al-Arian documentary showing @ Universalist Church

USA vs Al-Arian

This award-winning documentary, filmed in Tampa, Florida, by Norwegian film-maker Line Halvorsen chronicles the effects of a terrorism trial on the family of the accused. Although the jury did not return a single guilty verdict in over two hundred counts, Dr. Al-Arian remains in jail.

Friends of Human Rights is taking this film on tour and showing it at churches and other venues across the country. Screenings are followed by discussion led by Melva Underbakke and Fred Bryant.

“Mr. Al-Arian was not directly linked to any of the violent acts that we showed during the trial. Nonetheless, it did not make his role any less.”
U.S. Attorney Paul Perez.
