Tune in to KBOO 90.7 fm at 5:30 pm today for an interview with filmmaker Cherien Dabis about Amreeka, a new film that will be opening tomorrow in Portland at Fox Tower.

Amreeka chronicles the adventures of Muna, a single mother who leaves the West Bank with Fadi, her teenage son, with dreams of an exciting future in the promised land of small town Illinois.

In America, as her son navigates high school hallways the way he used to move through military checkpoints, the indomitable Muna scrambles together a new life cooking up falafel burgers as well as hamburgers at the local White Castle.
