 Since that tragic day\, Saudis living in America came under scrutiny as ma
 ny Americans wondered about Saudis\; who are they\; what are they doing in
  the US\; why do they hate us\; do they support Osama Bin Laden\; how do t
 hey feel about 9/11\; and most importantly why do they oppress their women
 ? Saudi filmmaker Fahmi Farahat takes his camera and invites us into his o
 wn life in an attempt to answer these questions. He captures the views and
  attitudes of his family and friends\, who are either living or visiting t
 he US\, through which he explores the many issues that surround Saudis in 
 America.\n\nPost screening discussion with filmmakers tuning in virtually
  for a Q&amp\;A.\n\nFor more information about the 33 and Me Filmmakers Fe
