Bilal's Stand
Bilal, a Muslim high school senior in Detroit, works long hours to keep up both his grades and his family's long-owned taxi stand. "The Stand" has been the family's social and financial hub for sixty years, and now Bilal is destined to carry the torch. Yet despite a series of setbacks at home, he secretly submits a college application and takes up ice carving in order to win a scholarship. This forces him to decide whether to continue running The Stand, the only life he has ever known, or take a chance at social mobility. Based on a true story, Bilal's Stand radiates warmth, humor, and originality. In depicting a struggle that is all too common today, the film captures emotional and authentic issues rarely brought to the on screen. Official selection at MOMA, Seattle and Sundance Film Festivals.
