The Critically Acclaimed Film About Arab-Americans, Islam
and the American Dream Playing at AMC® Boston Common 19
September 23nd - September 29th.
Faith, Fasting, Football
The film begins on September 11, 2009 and concludes at the end of Ramadan ten days later. The story is set against the backdrop of the stunningly beautiful Fordson High School, a public high school built by Henry Ford in 1922, which was once all white, but now boasts a 98% Arab population. As our team readies itself to play its affluent, cross town rival, we unearth the adversity faced by a community that is desperately holding onto its Islamic faith while struggling to gain acceptance in post 9-11 America.
Special Guest Apperance by Director Rashid Ghazi with Q&A for Friday evening 9/23 showings
