Description:
My Name is Khan, introduces us to a global, multicultural theme from the<br/>perspective of an innocent Muslim in the horror of the post-9/11 United States.<br/>Victimized for being autistic in his native India, Rizvan Khan also faces the<br/>perennial violence and hate generated by the anti-Muslim pogroms there. While<br/>an impressionable child, his mother, Razia Khan, teaches him a very profound<br/>ethical lesson - that irrespective of caste, class, race, religion, or ethnicity, there<br/>are only two kinds of people - good ones who do good deeds, and bad ones who<br/>do bad deeds.<br/>After immigrating to the United States, Rizvan works as a salesman for his<br/>brother Zakir Khan’s herbal beauty products company. Due to his strong work<br/>ethic, he is able to enjoy the benefits of the American Dream. Despite opposition<br/>from his brother, he marries a Hindu divorcee, Mandira, who has a 6-year old son,<br/>Sameer, and becomes part of her family. They work hard, lead a happy life, and<br/>are well integrated into a multicultural community.<br/>After the tragic events of 9/11 Rizvan’s whole world turns upside down.<br/>Due to prejudice, Mandira's customers abandon her beauty salon and she is forced<br/>to close and seek work elsewhere. 9/11 marks a watershed moment concerning<br/>the rights of Muslims in the US. The ignorance, fear, racism, and hysteria<br/>generated by the media lead to stereotyping, demonization, stigmatization, and<br/>brutal attacks against Muslims. The film depicts the cruel, inhumane, and racist<br/>character of American society, where Muslims are considered less than human<br/>and their rights trampled upon with impunity, based on unsubstantiated and vague<br/>suspicions. Due process and equal protection rights are disregarded due to the<br/>hysteria generated by terrorism. We see events get even uglier when Sameer,<br/>Mandira's son, is killed by four racist bullies at his school. Mandira is beside<br/>herself with grief and blames Rizvan and his Muslim-ness for all their woes. She<br/>asks Rizvan to leave and only return when he is able to tell the President of the<br/>United States that he is not a terrorist. Accordingly, Rizvan leaves San Francisco<br/>in search of the President to deliver his message.<br/>This movie depicts the gross violations of the civil/human rights<br/>experienced by the Muslim community in the US, which arose from prejudice,<br/>collective blame, and hate incited against Muslims. While attempting to meet<br/>President Bush, Rizvan is arrested for suspicion of being a terrorist and is placed<br/>in solitary confinement, in flagrant violation of his constitutional rights. He is<br/>strip/cavity searched and dehumanized by overzealous law enforcement agents<br/>and classified as a dangerous terrorist. In time, due to the advocacy of Rizvan's<br/>friends, the authorities realize they have made a mistake and release him.
