The Justice Film Series presents: The Feeling of Being Watched In-Person
Boulder SURJ is proud to present the next event of our Justice Film Series!
In the Arab-American neighborhood outside of Chicago where director Assia Boundaoui grew up, most of her neighbors think they have been under surveillance for over a decade. While investigating their experiences, Assia uncovers tens of thousands of pages of FBI documents that prove her hometown was the subject of one of the largest counterterrorism investigations ever conducted in the U.S. before 9/11, code-named “Operation Vulgar Betrayal.”
With unprecedented access, The Feeling of Being Watched weaves the personal and the political as it follows the filmmaker’s examination of why her community fell under blanket government surveillance.
Run time 1hr 27 min.
This event is organized by a community partner and hosted by the Boulder Public Library. Please use the North Side Canyon Entrance.
