A 9/11 Story: 1. Neighbours

In early 2000, two young Saudis arrive in San Diego. They had never been to America, speak almost no English, and have no idea how to open a bank account or rent a flat.

But one Arabic-speaking neighbour offers help, putting his name on the lease to secure their tenancy.
