“Arab in America”
by Nabil Abou-Harb

“Arab in America” chronicles the journey of an American-born character named, “Osama Ahmed Abou-Bakr” and his plight to find a job in America’s post-9/11 atmosphere.

The story highlights the hardships of Middle Easterners and Muslims living in the United States of America.

The character, “Osama”, a recent college graduate, cannot get anyone to hire him so he resorts to a drastic measure: he changes his name from “Osama Ahmed Abou-Bakr” to the more appealing “Samuel Adam Baker”.

Instantly, he’s offered a high-paying job at a prestigious company. However, concealing his true identity turns into a daunting task that unfortunately “Sam” cannot keep up and eventually comes clean.

The script is loosely based on real-life events that continue to plague Nabil’s cousin, Nidal Abo-Hareb, his father, Zouheir Abou-Harb, his brother, Osama Abou-Harb, and himself.
