Searching For Answers
What makes someone so desperate to go on a suicide mission? How do Muslims look at the people of other faiths? What is Jihad?
These are the questions that all of us have been asking since 9/11/2001.
Searching For Answers is a documentary on Muslim-Americans and how they feel about today's world, terrorism and its affects. This documentary interviews various groups of people (mainly youth and community leaders) in the Middle Eastern and South Asian communities to find out what they think about the current affairs, the post 9/11 world, and their place in the American society.

Due to the number of people in need, most charity organizations can only afford to give each person less than ten dollars a month, along with some rice and vegetable oil.
