The Idol
Proudly presented with Otley Film Society.
Acclaimed Palestinian filmmaker Hany Abu-Assad’s (Paradise Now, Omar) latest film, The Idol is a moving, defiantly uplifting biopic of Muhammad Assaf, the Gazan wedding singer who became a worldwide TV sensation in 2013. Growing up in battle-scarred Gaza, Muhammad dreams of musical stardom.
In his twenties – now struck by tragedy, and desperate to transcend the troubled place of his birth – he enters Arab Idol, hoping against all odds to win.
Dir. Hany Abu-Assad, 2015, 100 mins, Palestine
There will be refreshments available at the lovely Courthouse Cafe & Bar and Fairtrade Palestinian crafts and Zaytoun produce (olive oil and dates etc.) will be on sale – they make great Christmas presents!
