I saw this screened for over a thousand middle and high school students during the Sundance Film Festival. A foreign film in another language (with English subtitles) might invite trouble among that many energetic kids, but it absolutely captured their attention. There was a lot of excited, positive chatter as they left the theater. It works for people of all ages. Captain Abu Raed is a treat for anyone who enjoys insight into other cultures, a combination of emotions, and a meaningful story. This international educator gives it five stars plus.
Captain Abu Raed Overview
Filmed in Aman, Jordan, Captain Abu Raed is a universal story of friendship, inspiration and heroism set in contemporary Jordan. The first dramatic independent feature film to come out of Jordan in the last 50 years. Abu Raed is an aging airport janitor who has always yearned of seeing the world but has never been able to afford to travel. One day a group of children in his poor neighborhood assume he is a pilot and beg him to share stories of the world outside of Amman, Jordan. Through imaginary tales a friendship forms and he finds the grim realities of the children's home life. He takes it upon himself to make a difference.

Captain Abu Raed - John W. Van Hoy III -
Another glimpse into the complex dicotomey that is the muslem world. Interesting comparison of modern Jordan morays and life style contrasted with the dogma of old world morays. Also a presentation of the old educated/intelligent life vrs. limited exposure and ignorane. Worth a watch.
