AMREEKA - a film by Cherien Dabis @ the Embarcadero Center Cinema

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.

Amreeka recalls Dabis's Palestinian family's memories of their lives in rural America during the first Iraq War. The film stars Haifa-trained actress Nisreen Faour as Muna, and Melkar Muallen plays her 16-year-old son, Fadi. Also in the cast are Hiam Abbass (The Visitor, Paradise Now), Alia Shawkat ("Arrested Development"), Yussef Abu-Warda and Joseph Ziegler.

There will be Q&A after the film with Writer and Director Cherien Dabis
