The Citizen

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. He lands in New York City the day before 9/11 and the events of the September terrorist attacks forever shape the struggle he faces on his journey to capture the American dream.

My take

A deeply human portrait of resilience and displacement. Follow Ibrahim's arrival in New York on the eve of 9/11 as he navigates impossible circumstances with quiet dignity. For viewers seeking stories that challenge, move, and illuminate what it means to belong.
