detainee

Revolutions are built on hope.
A beautiful year since the referendum that led to the inclusion of the names of seventeen-year-old Leila Amin and her parents in the American registry; five months since the Japanese Attorney General wrote about the legitimacy of compulsory participation in their places of residence during wartime, due to the previous reason of the original payers during World War II; and a month since the American president declared: “Muslims constitute a hidden danger to America…”
On these charges, Leila, a creative woman of Indian origin, was taken one evening, along with her parents, to a detention center designated for Muslim Americans.
With the help of her friends in the prison, her companion who remained outside, and the precious support of an unexpected ally, Layla begins her struggle for freedom. She leads a rebellion against the camp director and his guards.
