On a Wing and a Prayer
This gently funny film follows Monem Salam as he enrolls in an open-minded flying school. Monem is the son of a Pakistani commercial pilot. His wife Iman’s family is Palestinian and although initially dubious about the marriage, now accepts the cultural differences. With three young children, Iman is happy to find time to cultivate her inner domestic diva. Monem’s has made a “green” decision to commute by scooter. These modern-day Americans cast off stereotypes and refuse to succumb to victimhood.
The film will start broadcasting on Public Television the beginning of this summer.
