Name

2014, USA, Director: Terry Lamb, Producers: Terry Lamb and David Usner; 8 min.

All Faraz wants to do is see his family. Then he is detained at an airport en route to Washington D.C. Based on his name, Middle Eastern features, and a fingernail cleaner, Faraz is subjected to relentless interrogation. As Faraz’s indignation turns to fear, Name explores what it means to be an American in an era of ethnic profiling.
