Description
This powerful true story chronicles the harrowing experience of the Zeitoun family, whose lives were irrevocably altered by two of America's most significant policy failures: the war on terror and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. As Hurricane Katrina devastates New Orleans, Abdulrahman Zeitoun remains behind to protect his home and business, only to be arrested by police in the storm's wake. What follows is a gripping and deeply human account of one man's struggle against overwhelming forces, highlighting themes of resilience, injustice, and the enduring strength of family in the face of unimaginable adversity.
