''USA vs AL-ARIAN'' is 2007 documentary film about Sami Al-Arian and his family during and after his federal trial on terrorism-related charges. It was directed by the Norwegian director Line Halvorsen. According to the ''St. Petersburg Times'', the film "glosses over the specific charges, and pays scant attention to the evidence."〔(Hillsborough: Film focuses on human side of the Al-Arian saga )〕 However ''Variety'' notes that, "Though unquestionably biased, eye-opening docu "USA vs Al-Arian" throws the spotlight on a justice system shanghaied by the Patriot Act, leaving a deeply sympathetic family frayed but not quite broken." In the trial, the jury acquitted Al-Arian of nearly half the charges, and deadlocked on the remaining charges. After the trial, Al-Arian pleaded guilty in 2006 to conspiracy to help a terrorist organization, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. ==Awards== *Audience Award, 2007 Tromsø International Film Festival〔(【引用サイトリンク】USA vs. Al-Arian )〕 *Best Film, 2007 New Orleans Human Rights Film Festival, USA〔 *Grand Prix (Flugeprisen), 2007 Norwegian Documentary Film Festival Volda〔 *Honorary Mention, 2007 International Festival of Muslim Cinema "Golden Minbar", Russia〔 *Best Nordic Documentary, 2007 Nordisk Panorama – 5 Cities Film Festival〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「USA vs. Al-Arian」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
