Amreeka (2009) starring Nisreen Faour, Melkar Muallem. A Palestinian mother and son immigrate to the United States -- in a post-9/11 atmosphere, just as the war in Iraq is ramping up. As they try to reinvent their lives, they meet with prejudice and suspicion. The part of the movie where they speak Arabic is subtitled in English, but there are no subtitles for the hearing-impaired. And yet, it was not impossible to follow. Grade: B-
