"USA vs. Al-Arian" is a 2007 film about Sami Al-Arian and his family during and after his federal trial on terrorism-related charges. It was directed by the Norwegian director Line Halvorsen. "Variety" reviewer Jay Weissberg called the film an "unquestionably biased, eye-opening docu ["sic"] " that nonetheless "throws the spotlight on a justice system shanghaied by the Patriot Act, leaving a deeply sympathetic family frayed but not quite broken."cite news

According to the St. Petersburg Times, the film " glosses over the specific charges, and pays scant attention to the evidence." [ [http://www.sptimes.com/2007/05/16/Hillsborough/Film_focuses_on_human.shtml Hillsborough: Film focuses on human side of the Al-Arian saga ] ]
