Boston: Bright Lights Film Series at Emerson College are having a special screening of TIME FOR ILHAN ; Norah Shapiro’‘s excellent award winning documentary on the truly remarkable US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar
This story of the Somali/American woman who single-handedly is changing the face of politics in Minnesota for good, is one of those uplifting stories that restores one’s faith in humanity. Not an easy thing to do in this present debased and dangerous political climate.
Shapiro covers her tough journey to become a State Rep against all odds, and although the film finishes way before she then is faced with an opportunity to fun Congress, it is obvious even then, that Ilhan is destined for much greater things .
Tuesday, November 5, 2019 at 7 PM Bright Family Screening Room, The Paramount Center - Emerson College 559 Washington St, Boston, Massachusetts 02111
