SYNOPSIS : AmericanEast is a timely, poignant drama about Arab-Americans living in post-9/11 Los Angeles. The story examines long-held misunderstandings about Arabic and Islamic culture, and puts a human face on a segment of the U.S. population whom most Americans know nothing about, but who today are of particular interest to them, either from curiosity or suspicion. The story highlights the pressures under which many Arab-Americans now live, by focusing on the points-of-view of three main characters. INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION : E 1 US RIGHTS : MGM |
