Amreeka
November 9, 2009
(USA) Rated 14A
96 minutes
New York-based filmmaker Cherien Dabis was born to Palestinian-Jordanian immigrants, and her remarkable first feature tells a story very close to home. The narrative revolves around protagonist Muna, a Palestinian woman who is happy to get a green card to the United States and thereby leave her West Bank home. She sets off with her teenaged son, Fadi, and settles in small-town Illinois with her sister’s family.
This is an evocative feature telling a story that really must be told, from a perspective we are not always privy to – the everyday, hard-working person caught up in events she certainly did not have any control over but which have affected the entire course of her life. Amreeka is riveting viewing.
