What Captain Abu Raed Is About
Abu Raed cleans at Amman airport and has always wanted to see the world without ever being able to afford it. One day he finds a discarded pilot’s cap, and the children of his poor neighbourhood take him for an airline captain and press him for stories of everywhere he has been. The invented stories turn into a friendship, and what is actually happening in the children’s homes gradually surfaces until he cannot stay out of it. Amin Matalqa’s first feature was the first film produced in Jordan in more than fifty years. It won the World Cinema audience award at Sundance in 2008.
