Coming September 4th (USA) to theatres is Amreeka, a movie that proves that the American spirit doesn't come with citizenship papers--it comes from the hearts of the people who live there.
A family of immigrants, along with a couple of first-generation American teenagers, finds themselves inexorably caught between their heritage and their new home. Can they unite to make themselves a whole American family, or will the various influences on their lives pull them apart? Check out the trailer.
It's already won the Critic's Prize at Cannes, so it looks like Amreeka's going to add yet another title in the hunt for little golden statues. Does it have a chance? Hit the comments section below and tell us what you think. Thanks for watching!
Amreeka Cast: Nisreen Faour, Melkar Muallem, Hiam Abbass, Alia Shawkat, Jenna Kawar
