IF YOU SEE SOMETHING

A Film by Oday Rasheed

Written by Avram Noble Ludwig and Jess Jacobs

“This film is an honest exploration of the human side of a politicized topic, I’m honored to stand behind Oday, Jess and their film which sheds light on the deeply personal journeys of those navigating the complex realities of immigration.”

— Doug Liman, Deadline

In the bliss of new love, Ali and Katie start to build their life together in New York City, he an Iraqi immigrant seeking political asylum, and she, an ambitious American woman. When a crisis strikes back in Baghdad in the midst of his asylum process, Katie and Ali are forced to navigate its impact on their relationship... and the secrets they are keeping from each other. Navigating trust and shame; rejection and acceptance; and how best to love one another, Katie and Ali face an existential question:

is it worth crossing borders, both national and personal, to save what they have?
