PBS Documentary Film 1/22/2008
It's time! "A Son's Sacrifice" is coming to your living room this week as part of the PBS national series " Independent Lens"!
Tune in to see Academy Award-nominated actor Terrence Howard (Crash, Hustle & Flow) introduce the film and name-drop Yoni and Musa.
In December, the film won the International Documentary Association's (IDA) award for Best Documentary Short at their gala in Los Angeles.
A SON'S SACRIFICE follows the journey of Imran, a young American Muslim who struggles to take over his father's halal slaughterhouse in New York City. On the holiest day of the year, Imran must lead a sacrifice that will define him as a Muslim, as an American, and as a son.
Most cities will broadcast the film on Tuesday, January 22, at 10PM. However, there are many exceptions, such as NYC (12:30AM on Jan 26) and DC (12:30AM on Jan 27). The best idea is to check the air date using your zipcode www.pbs.org) because some stations are replaying it several times.
This winter and spring "A Son's Sacrifice" will screen in Croatia (at ZagrebDox), Greece (at the Thessaloniki Documentary Festival), San Francisco (at the San Francisco Int'l Asian American Film Festival), Washington DC (at the Council of Foundations Festival, where it won a Henry Hampton Award) in addition to universities including Connecticut College and UCLA. Check out our news page for updates and screening times if you'll be near any of these cities.
