Hijab, Red Sea
Breakfast with Abu (director, documentary, running 22:00)
Each morning, during her month-long visit, Angela and father, Abu, talk and eat. And before she leaves to return to the States, Abu wonders what she thinks of what she’s experienced. And she wonders, “Doesn’t he remember?” She is new to the Middle East, but not to Islam.
Hijab, Red Sea (director, documentary, estimated running time 10:30)
Angela and her family take a trip to Thuwal Beach in Saudi Arabia for a picnic and a fun day at the beach. Hiding out in the tent, she attempts to get her hijab just right, while in the background her father plays with her nephews, beach goers walk by, and a pair of women linger at the sea shore.
