Mombasa's beaches, once packed with tourists, sit empty after a bombing at the Paradise hotel aimed at Westerners ends up devastating Kenya's own Muslim population instead. The film tracks the fallout: America and Britain slap travel bans on Kenya, thousands of tourism workers lose their jobs, and the beach hubs that once drew foreign visitors go quiet. Kenyan authorities, under pressure to show they are fighting terrorism, respond with sweeps through Muslim communities, arresting hundreds of civilians who had nothing to do with the attack. One Muslim speaker interviewed in the film puts it bluntly: "We're called terrorists so that we can be targeted." The documentary lays out how a strike meant for outsiders left ordinary Kenyans, and specifically Kenya's Muslim minority, absorbing the economic and social cost, fueling resentment toward a War on Terror that many now see as aimed at their faith rather than at the people who planted the bomb.
