March 16, 2013: “Barzan” - To his neighbors, Sam Malkandi was the model immigrant and the perfect family man. He worked hard to buy a house, secure a better future for his children and assimilate into American life. To investigators, Malkandi was a cold-blooded terrorist that represented a potential link between Iraq and the 9/11 attacks. To audiences, Malkandi is a mercurial character whose story embodies controversial issues of immigration, xenophobia, and the price of security in the 21st century. Shot in both Iraq and Seattle, and featuring haunting sand animation sequences, the film takes audiences on the epic geopolitical journey of a family torn apart by suspicion, and examines the opaque government agencies charged with keeping us safe, even at the cost of freedom.

Alex Stonehill is a photojournalist, videographer, and multimedia producer. His work has been featured on PBS, the Seattle Times, FRONTLINE/World, and the Seattle Weekly. He teaches at the University of Washington. He won the 2011 SPJ Award for Online Video for the Documentary short "Never Going Home: Young Iraqi Refugees Dream of Seattle" and was a Media21 Fellow in 2009.

Bradley Hutchinson has worked with numerous film companies and independent film units and is co-founded The Last Quest, a Seattle-based film production company.

At the completion of the film screening, there will be a moderated discussion with the filmmakers.
