American Made (http://americanmadethemovie.com) is a story about a
Sikh American family in the aftermath of 9/11.

When the Singh family's car breaks down in the desert, Ranjit tells
his father that no one will stop to help because "he looks like a
terrorist."

What follows is the heart-rending struggle between a father and son
and a larger exploration of faith, tradition, acceptance, and what
it means to be 'American' today.

Told with humanity and humor, American Made has won seventeen awards
from film festivals around the world.

It will likely be the first fictional film about Sikh Americans post-
9/11 on national television.

Director Sharat Raju's next project is a full-length documentary

film Divided We Fall: Americans in the Aftermath (http://dwf-
film.com) to be released in Fall 2006.
