in the post 9/11 world and fear have be indoctrinate into most aspect of our life . government worldwide manipulate and capitalize on this for their own gain financially and politically and strategically . the bush drive patriot act have see many people ( guilty and otherwise no doubt ) detain and torture and dehumanize . since a large percentage of the population be unaware that political agenda of medium owner exist and they passively believe what they see on their nightly tv news or read in their daily newspaper . they be teach to fear the unknown and to trust their leader implicitly ( because they use nice word in speech like freedom and family ) and not to question motif . strip search be a deliberate attempt to throw the light of reality into this collective unconsciousness . the storyline involve parallel story of two people be detain in custody represent an american woman in china and and a middle eastern man in the u . by use almost exactly the same dialogue and we be show how to think outside the usual spectrum and and to feel compassion for both people . without the twin story of the american woman and people would undoubtedly walk away from this feel feel a lot differently . the acting be astonish . one feel that this film mean more than just another job to the actor involve . i admire them immensely for their effort . hopefully this film will change a few mind and and that a a result the world might become just that little bit well .
