Bio:
I am a documentary filmmaker and I live in Albany New York. I became involved in documenting the story of the case against Mohammed Hossain and Yassin Aref in 2006. I am a member of the local grass-roots community group who support the two men who were caught in a fictitious FBI sting. I became very friendly with Fatima Hossain, Mohammed's wife who has agreed to tell her and her family's story about the suffering of a family when a husband and father is removed suddenly and unjustly for a very long period of time.
