Description
AMREEKA Dir. Cherien Dabis (2009) N.R, 96 mins. Written and directed by Palestinian-American Cherien Dabis, Amreeka is a heart-warming and funny first feature. Muna, an accountant and Fadi her son, have the misfortune to arrive from Palestine soon after the start of the war in Iraq, when anti-Arab sentiment runs high. She arrives in a distant Chicago suburb with no money but high hopes. Amreeka is not a political dirge but a heartwarming film that people can relate to.
