B Zeitoun

During Hurricane Katrina, Syrian-American contractor Mr. Zeitoun, decides to stay and wait until the storm ends. He canoes in his deluged neighborhood, assisting stranded people and dogs, even though his frustrated wife and family followed the mandatory evacuation instructions. A nightmare ensues when he is arrested for looting and spends 23 days imprisoned and treated unfairly.
