In 2003 Dutch Iraqi Wesam Delaema visits his mother country Iraq after the US and UK invasion. He marries his wife in Bagdad and wants to finally see his family again. To show his friends in The Netherlands the other side of Iraq, he decides to film everything during his trip.
When he films in his birth town Faluja, he ends up filming local masked fighters with the infrared function on his camera. In sinister green light the fighters show Wesam where they placed what seems to be a road bomb.
After Wesam arrived back in The Netherlands he is suspected of being involved in terrorist activities. It turns out that Wesam has nothing to do with it, but the Dutch keep on following him, and even arrest him, just after his wife arrived from Iraq. In this period the video tapes are found in his house. He is jailed and even extradited to the US. Soon the Wesam trial will start in Washington.
Since Wesam Delaema arrived in The Netherlands he created a large network of friends. These friends cannot believe that Wesam did something wrong, and do everything they can to proof his innocence and help his wife and brother.
The program Nightline form the American TV broadcaster ABC wants to get hold of the video footage Delaema made and research to be done about him via his lawyer, family and friends.
For this production Featurez did research and set-up and archive footage research.
