'American Herro' debut rescheduled for April 26

“American Herro,” a feature-length documentary film about a female refugee’s journey to America will be shown at the Fargo Theatre on Sunday, April 26, at 4 p.m. There will be a question and answer session at 5 p.m. and a reception at the Hotel Donaldson at 5:30 p.m. No tickets are needed, but free-will donations will be accepted. Kurdish food will be served.

The documentary follows Herro Mustafa, a young Muslim-Kurdish woman, who flees terror in Iraq to come to America where she overcomes her frightening first years to eventually achieve the American dream.

Mustafa and filmmaker Kirk Roos will be available for a question and answer period following the screening of the film.

“It’s been an extraordinary honor to work with the Mustafa family these past few years telling their story on camera, but it has been life changing to have known them these past 30-plus years,” Roos said. “We really look forward to sharing this event with the community of Fargo.”

The film’s progress and news can be viewed at www.americanherro.org. For more information, contact Roos at kirk@comm-corps.com or (701) 730-5500.

The event was originally planned in March as part of the NDSU International Week celebration.
