  • ""After the September 11th terrorist attacks, more than 5,000 Arab or Muslim immigrants were taken into custody by the U.S. Justice Department and held indefinitely on the grounds of national security. Detainees were subjected to arbitrary arrest, secret detention, solitary confinement and deportation. Most were held on minor immigration charges and were frequently denied legal representation and communication with their families. The Justice Department has ensured the invisibility of these cases, by refusing to disclose the names and total number of people detained. Set in a bare room that functions variously as interrogation room, prison cell and home, Persons of interest consists of a series of intimate encounters with twelve detainees and family members. Detainees share their stories, show photographs, read letters written in jail, re-enact their prison experience... even sing."--Conteneur."
  • "Within three days of the September 11 attacks, the FBI launched the largest criminal investigation in U.S. history. More than 5,000 Arab or Muslim persons "of interest" to the FBI were arrested on immigration charges - then investigated for possible links to terrorist activity. Subject to arbitrary arrest, secret detention, solitary confinement, deportation, denial of legal representation and communication with their families by the United States Department of Justice, twelve victims of this roundup share their stories. This film reveals some of the faces and voices that represent the human cost of the U.S. government's anti-terrorism campaign."
