THE CITIZEN – starring Khaled Nabawy, Agnes Bruckner, William Atherton, Rizwan Manji, and Cary Elwes- directed by Sam Kadi – An Arab immigrant wins the U.S. Green Card Lottery and arrives in New York City one day before the 9/11 attacks, inspired by true events.

Yearning to leave behind his life of misfortune in the Middle East, Ibrahim Jarrah wins the U.S Green Card Lottery for a chance to become an American citizen. Ibrahim lands in New York City the day before 9/11 …and the events of the September terrorist attacks forever shape the struggles he faces on his journey to capture the American dream.

Inspired by true events, THE CITIZEN stars Khaled Nabawy (Fair Game), Agnes Bruckner (Blood and Chocolate), Rizwan Manji (Outsourced), Bill Atherton (Ghostbusters), and Cary Elwes (The Princess Bride).
