The Film: “I’ll Meet You There” is a dramatic thriller following the father-daughter journey of Majeed, a Chicago policeman, and Dua, his teenage ballerina daughter. Eager for a raise, Majeed is cherry-picked to go undercover in a mosque for a special FBI co-assignment. Shortly after, Baba, Majeed’s long-estranged father, shows up unannounced from Pakistan. Majeed uses Baba as an excuse to reenter the mosque after a decade. Counter to his liking, Dua and Baba take to each other. Baba urges Dua to question her passion for dance in the name of religion. The family explores new truths about their present, past, and future until everything comes to a head in a surprise bait and switch by the FBI. ** Q&A featuring the director Iram Parveen Bilal. #illmeetyoutherethefilm #ScreeningSeries2021 "A Pakistani-American Tale Upends Expectations Onscreen and in Life" - The New York Times “A poignant and self-reflective drama that examines racism and religious tradition present in America”- Clapper Ltd “A moving portrayal of a family trying to reconnect with each other” - Quelle Movies FAQs: This event will follow current COVID-19 guidelines for county, state, and federal safety.
