Captain Abu Raed
(Jordan, 2007)
-----------------------------------------------------
Abu Raed is a lonely janitor at Amman's International Airport. Never having realised his dreams of seeing the world, he experiences it vicariously through books and brief encounters with travelers. But after finding a discarded captain's hat, he is befriended by a group of children believing him to be an airline pilot. And this the friendship begins... Captain Abu Raed is the story of everyday people intersecting across social boundaries. It is a story of dreams, friendship, forgiveness and sacrifice. Captain Abu Raed won the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival; and Best Actor at the Dubai Film Festival. Jordan, 2007 / Amin Matalqa
