A SON’S SACRIFICE

A Son’s Sacrifice follows the journey of Imran, a young American Muslim who struggles to take over his father’s halal slaughterhouse in New York City. [For Muslims, the word halal describes what is lawful in Islam. halal dietary laws dictate certain conditions for the preparation of meat, as well as the types of animals and foods that are lawful for consumption.] Until a short time ago, 27-year-old Ιmran, born to a Bangladeshi Muslim father and a Puerto Rican Catholic mother, worked in advertising. When his father expresses his wish to retire, Imran decides to succeed the family business, and he is given a task to prove his faith. On the holiest day of the year, Imran must lead a sacrifice that will define him as a Muslim, as an American, and as a son.
