Middle East / North Africa Film Series - Session Two: Captain Abu Raed

Facilitated by Dr. Younasse Tarbouni

Join us for the second session of the Fall 2025 Middle East / North Africa (MENA) Film Series.

Captain Abu Raed (2007 / 102 min.) - Directed by Amin Matalqa

"When an old airport janitor finds a captain's hat in the trash, he gets pulled into the lives of children in his poor neighborhood. He weaves imaginary stories of his world adventures to offer hope in the face of their harsh reality."

The viewing will be facilitated by Dr. Younasse Tarbouni of the Jewish, Islamic, and Middle Eastern Studies department.
