Told with heartfelt humor by writer-director Cherien Dabis in her feature film debut, AMREEKA is a universal journey into the lives of a 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 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 newcomer Melkar Muallen as her 16-year-old son, Fadi. Also starring: Hiam Abbass (The Visitor), Alia Shawkat (TV’s “Arrested Devlopment”), Yussef Abu-Warda and Joseph Ziegler. Written and directed by Cherien Dabis, AMREEKA was produced by Christina Piovesan and Paul Barkin.
