Just Another Day is a short film by the Palestinian visual artist and filmmaker Hisham Zreiq (Zrake). The film deals with post 9/11 status of Arabs in the Western world, via the story of a young Arab man that lives in Europe after the September 11 terror attacks. The story is told in a day when his city is struck by another terror attack, in a sad chapter of his life, because he is suffering after the woman he loves left him – precisely because he is an Arab.[1]
