Dir Mira Nair 2012 130 mins

With Riz Ahmed, Live Schreiber, Keifer Sutherland, Kate Hudson, Om Puri, Shabana

Azmi Mira Nair, who made Monsoon Wedding, adapted the novel by Mohsin Hamid about an ambitious young businessman, the dazzling Riz Ahmed, who finds himself caught between the American Dream and the call of his homeland , Pakistan, brought to a critical point by a hostage crisis. The starry cast and glossy production do not detract from the serious discussion of loyalty and the need to do ‘the right thing’.
