In Our Son’s Name is an intimate portrait of Phyllis and Orlando
Rodriguez, whose son’s death in the World Trade Center on September
11, 2001, leads them to question conventional ideas of justice and
retribution. Their quest for healing crosses cultural, religious and
national boundaries as they speak out against war in Afghanistan and
Iraq, support the defense of Zacarias Moussaoui – convicted of
conspiracy in the attack, and befriend Moussaoui’s mother, Aïcha el-
Wafi. This powerful story of personal courage challenges conventional
concepts of justice and healing in the aftermath of violence.
