Amader Dawat, Apicha CHC, DRUM Presents: "Elijah" (Screening & Discussion)

Join us for a screening of "Elijah", a coming-out story of a Bengali-American. Followed by a Q+A with filmmaker, Razid Season!

Sypnosis: A South Asian Muslim taxi driver faces the reality that the American Dream may never be his. Grueling hours, rude customers, a collapse in medallion values, and suicides among fellow drivers continually chip away at his hope for the future. Against this backdrop, crisis spills into his family as his child comes out. His relationship with his son challenges his past views on LGBTQ issues, forcing him to confront prejudice in his community to protect the child he loves.

We’ll be screening this beautiful film, followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker, Razid. Refreshments will be provided.
