Bremen, Germany. For Rabie Kurnaz (Kaptan), a loving wife and mother, her close-knit Turkish-German immigrant family is the center of her world. Shortly after her oldest son Murat (Öztürk) goes missing, the Kurnaz’ learn that he has been arrested in Pakistan, detained without trial and sent to the Guauntanomo Bay Detention Camp as a suspected terrorist. Rabiye immediately springs into action, but soon finds herself alone and out of her depth. Things change for the dedicated, albeit impulsive and impatient Rabiye, when she finds Bernhard Docke (Scheer), a level-headed human rights lawyer, who takes on her case. Together, the two find themselves enmeshed in global politics as they battle for the release of her son, all the way to the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C.

Laila Stieler’s award-winning screenplay captures Kurnaz’ determination and dedication to her family and justice.

Eighteen people were killed in this week's mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine. Authorities have identified all of the victims.

Then, San Diego Gas and Electric customers are opening surprisingly high utility bills this month. We hear how some San Diegans are copping with the financial pain and what options there are to help. Finally, industry and government collect a lot of data about us. So much that states like California have placed some strict rules in data collection in the interest of privacy. But University of San Diego Law Professor Orly Lobel argues that, in many cases, we don't need less information about people. We need more to help create a just society.

The jump is 12% more than the year before and came as rents and inflation skyrocketed. The increase was driven by families and those who lost housing for the first time.
