Racial profiling is a grim
reality for many people around the world, especially those
of middle eastern descent. Filmmaker Han Hartman
gives the issue a new twist. In Hartman's movie
"Profile," the person racially profiled is not an Arabic
man but a white woman, accused of terrorist connections.
"What I am trying to say with this film is that anyone can
be profiled, and you don't have to meet the profile to be
what they are looking for," Hartman says. To
make the film, Hartman went for hyper-realism. None
of the actors were allowed to meet before hand so they
would be experiencing their characters' dilemmas for the
first time when the cameras started to roll. The
techniques used on the woman were real interrogation
techniques.
