Enjoy an Arab American Film Festival selection and panel discussion before breaking fast with fellow attendees at an Iftar following the film.
Dalya’s Other Country
In 2012 Dalya and her mother Rudayna fled Aleppo for Los Angeles as war took over. Months before, Rudayna learns a secret that destroys her marriage, leaving her single at midlife. Arriving in LA, Dalya enrolls as the only Muslim at Holy Family Catholic High School. Can mother and daughter remake themselves while holding on to their Islamic traditions?
Immediately following the film, we will be joined by Muslim Americans from the community to discuss being Muslim American in today's world and navigating identities in today's political and social climate.
