Special Screening of "AMREEKA"
A Film by Cherien Dabis
August 27, 2009 at 7:00pm in SF
 Amreeka chronicles the adventures of Muna, a single mother who leaves the Israeli occupied Palestinian West Bank with Fadi, her teenage son, with dreams of an exciting future in the promised land of small town Illinois. Told with heartfelt humor by writer-director Cherien Dabis in her feature film debut, Amreeka is a universal journey into the lives of a Palestinian family of immigrants and first-generation teenagers caught between their heritage and the new world in which they now live and the bittersweet search for a place to call home.
