Amerrika

Last movie seen with OVS. USA / Palestine by Cherien Dabis. A divorced mother, Mouna, and her teenage son living in a Palestine / occupied territory got a visa to go to the States. They are hosted by Mouna's sister and family who have been living in Illinois for 15 years.
Obviously the integration is much more difficult that what they dreamt of.
It is a moving film, all the characters have their own say in this story which rmains - against all odds - optimistic.
