What Amreeka Is About
Muna is a divorced woman in the West Bank who moves to a small town in Illinois so that her son Fadi can have a different future. She arrives at a bad moment: the Iraq war is on and being Arab in that town has become something you have to explain every day. Her banking qualifications get her nowhere, she takes a job at White Castle, and she keeps it from her son. Cherien Dabis's first feature premiered at Sundance in 2009 and won the FIPRESCI prize in the Directors' Fortnight at Cannes. Nisreen Faour plays Muna, with Hiam Abbass as her sister.
