Freedom, but at what cost? A Palestinian immigrant and her family find more freedom in the US than expected. A true-life storytelling show written and performed by Laila Lee. In this one-woman show, Laila brings to light her experiences growing up Muslim in the American South, how she discovers her own place in the world, and what sacrifices she must make.
