The story of Terry Allen, an all-American accountant who becomes obsessed with CNN’s post 9/11 coverage of the "war on terrorism" after losing his job. His world gets a lot smaller when a “profile-fitting” Islamic student moves in next door. When others disregard Terry’s theories about his neighbor, he decides to take matters into his own hands to uncover the truth. A riveting psychological thriller in the tradition of Rear Window (1954) by Alfred Hitchcock, Civic Duty draws the audience into one man’s spiral into paranoia fuelled by the media.
