Inadmissible

Inadmissible—featured in Science Magazine—chronicles the unlikely story of a young Egyptian who emigrated to the U.S. in pursuit of the American dream, and how his one mistake—claiming to be a U.S. citizen in order to qualify for student loans—landed him behind bars along with some of America’s most notorious offenders, slated for deportation upon the end of his prison term. Five years later, however, the Egyptian student would earn his PhD from one of the finest universities in the U.S.—Caltech—only to find himself, once again, on the wrong end of the American justice system.
