Amerrika (2009)
Drama protagonizado por una inmigrante palestina y su hijo adolescente en una pequeña ciudad de Illinois. La vida de Muna transcurre entre la pesadez diaria de los puntos de control de Cisjordania y la sombra de un matrimonio fracasado, pero todo cambia cuando obtiene un permiso de trabajo y residencia para los Estados Unidos. Allí tendrán que esforzarse por encajar en una nueva cultura sin perder la propia, enfrentándose a un entorno que, tras la invasión de Irak, mira con desconfianza a todo Oriente Medio. Mientras Fadi congenia con su prima rebelde y se mete en líos en el instituto, la indomable Muna no pierde la esperanza y, a pesar de tener que llevar una doble vida en la hamburguesería local, afronta con optimismo esta nueva etapa, enseñándole a su hijo una lección que nunca olvidará.
