Arab American National Museum and CMENAS Film Screening. The Feeling of Being Watched + Talkback
Assia Boundaoui, Director
Thursday, November 15, 2018
7:00-8:30 PM
Off Campus Location
In the Arab American neighborhood outside of Chicago where director Assia Boundaoui grew up, most of the neighbors think they have been under surveillance for over a decade. While investigating their experiences, Boundaoui uncovers tens of thousands of pages of FBI documents that prove her hometown was the subject of one of the largest counter-terrorism investigations ever conducted in the U.S. With unprecedented access, The Feeling of Being Watched follows Boundaoui as she pieces together a secret FBI operation and grapples with the effects of a lifetime of surveillance.
