Threadbare:
From the filmmaker:
|
" In the summer of 2003, 23 Pakistani and one Indian man were arrested by Canadian law enforcement under Project Thread, a purported anti-terror investigation. The charges crumbled under scrutiny and the men were quietly deported. Threadbare is the story of how these seemingly harmless and unremarkable men spent two to five months in a maximum security prison outside of Toronto and became the focus of Canada's notorious post-9/11 terror case. "
"Threadbare" is a film about racism against Pakistanis and South Asian Muslims in the Canadian Immigration and Legal justice system. The documentary film revolves around the struggles of the 25 Project Thread detainees (now deportees) that were a target of the RCMP Al-Qaeda investigation in August 2003. The Threadbare film also documents the Project Threadbare struggle to exonerate, compensate, apologize, naturalize the detainees. The film is produced and directed by Arshad Khan.
