  • "This documentary film explores the lives of Arab Candians named Osama and the changes that have occurred in their lives since 9/11. The film also sheds light on these individual's struggle to fend off the negative connotation of their name and offers a deep look into the lives of their families and their environments as they prepare for the next year of hardship and hope. Finally this film is also a window into the little-known world of Canada's Arab communities and the challenges they face with integration and acceptance as the Middle-East continues to boil."
