Knickerbocker Spring Film Series: "Amreeka"
Saturday, April 03, 2010, 7:30 PM
“Amreeka” won several international film awards and was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. In the film, Muna, a single mother in Ramallah, applies for a visa to the US. When it comes, her son Fadi, an excellent student, convinces her they should go. After an incident at customs begins their exile badly, they join Muna’s sister and family in Illinois. Muna needs a job: although she has two degrees and 15 years of experience in banking, she settles for work at White Castle, but tells the family that she is working at a nearby bank. When the US invades Iraq in Spring 2003, Fadi meets prejudice at school, while finding friends in unlikely places. The rest of the story unfolds as Fadi responds to the prejudice he faces and to American youth culture and as Muna sorts things out with her family.
The film is rated PG-13 and is in English and Arabic with English subtitles. It has a running time of 96 minutes.
Admission: $6 Adults/$5 Students and Seniors
