Dear Colleagues, DER's newest film AMEER GOT HIS GUN<http://www.der.org/films/ameer-got-his-gun.html> is a sensitive and intelligent film portraying an individual as he navigates the surreal terrain of his life. It's the perfect film for courses in Ethnic Minorities, Political Studies, Religious Studies (Muslim and Jewish), Anthropology, or Equality, and a must-have for your library!
Ameer, a young Israeli, Moslem Arab volunteers to join the Israeli Defense Forces with the innocent belief that his induction will turn him into an equal citizen. Drawing fire from Jewish and Palestinian societies, he sets on a tough voyage to civic and self definition. Ameer, an eternal optimist wishes to be both a proud Arab and an enthusiastic Israeli, while his only enemy is reality.
