Free Arabic Movie Night: The Guest
On August 28, we’re screening The Guest: Aleppo to Istanbul, a moving drama that follows 10-year-old Lena, her toddler sister, and their neighbor Meryem as they flee Syria for Turkey.
Through Lena’s longing to return home and Meryem’s hope of reaching Europe, the film offers a deeply human look at displacement, loss, and hope. Written and directed by Turkish filmmaker Andaç Haznedaroğlu, the film features real-life Syrian refugees in supporting roles.
Movie at 7:30 PM – FREE/ Optional dinner at 7 PM – $15
Menu: Beef kabab with cherries, freekeh, green salad & dessert
Syria/Turkey | 2017 | Drama | 1h 29m
Come for dinner, the movie, or both. We hope you’ll join us!
