THE TAQWACORES
Yusef is a
first-generation Pakistani-American engineering student who moves
off-campus with a group of Muslim punks in Buffalo, New York. His new
"un-orthodox" housemates soon introduce him to Taqwacore - a hardcore,
Muslim punk rock scene. As the seasons change, Taqwacore influences the
house more and more. The living room becomes a mosque during the day,
while it continues to host punk shows at night. Ultimately, Yusef
begins to challenge his own faith and ideologies. A powerful and
original story of punk Islam in the USA and the discovery of oneself
within the confines of religion. (2010, 83 mins.)

FAIR GAME
A suspense-filled
glimpse into the dark corridors of political power, Fair Game is an
action-thriller based on the autobiography of real-life undercover CIA
operative Valerie Plame Wilson (Naomi Watts), whose career was
destroyed and marriage strained to its limits when her covert identity
was exposed by a politically motivated press leak.
As a covert officer in the CIA’s Counter-Proliferation Division,
Valerie’s work involved identifying the existence of weapons of
mass destruction in Iraq before the United States declared war. Her
husband, diplomat Ambassador Joe Wilson (Sean Penn) was hired by the
CIA for a fact-finding mission as part of the investigation. When the
Bush administration ignored his findings and used them to support the
call to war, Joe contradicted the White House in The New York Times,
igniting a firestorm of controversy. (2010, 108 mins.)
