About Whose Children Are These?
Whose Children Are These? provides a gripping view into the lives of
three Muslim teenagers impacted by anti-terrorism national security
measures. One such program, "Special Registration," required male
non-citizens, as young as 16 from 25 predominately Arab and Muslim
nations, to register with the US Government and resulted in the
deportation of nearly 14,000 men, with none being charged
with terrorism related crimes.
The film introduces Navila, an honors student who fought to have her
father released from detention; Sarfaraz, a popular basketball player
who confronts pending deportation; and Hager, a young woman who faces
bias and is spurred into activism as a result.
