I am an American I am an American Project

Five years after 9/11, Cynthia Weber began on-camera interviews with US citizens like Cindy Sheehan, James Yee, Steve Kurtz, and Saul Arellano (son of Elvira Arellano), who were caught up in the security and immigration crossfire of the 'war on terror'. Each US citizen was invited to reflect upon their experiences of citizenship and patriotism after 9/11, to create a pose (often with the US flag)

that epitomizes these experiences, and to encapsulate their experiences into a sentence that includes the words 'I am an American'. Resulting from this project are a series of 14 short films and the book 'I am an American: Filming the Fear of Difference (University of Chicago Press and Intellect Press).
