DAVID

Screening September 10th, 7:12pm “David” tells the story of Daud, an eleven year old Muslim boy growing up in Brooklyn. As the son of the Imam of the local mosque, he has to juggle his father’s high expectations, the dynamics of a conservative family, and being different – even from his peers in the Muslim community. Through an innocent act of good faith, Daud inadvertently befriends a group of Jewish boys who mistake him for being Jewish and accept him as one of their own. When the Jewish boys discover that Daud has lied to them, his world is shattered, and he is left alone, struggling to come to terms with his place in the world. “David” is first and foremost a story of friendship between two boys. It is not a political or religious movie, but, after watching it, these topics will inevitably seep into the conversation. The film questions the boundaries of our cultures and religions, and looks at how static and yet fluid these boundaries can be.
