Man Push Cart
Directed by Ramin Bahrani
Produced by Noruz Films, Flip Side Film
A melancholic portrait of an immigrant's grinding daily struggle and quiet loneliness, punctuated by fragile moments of human connection and the possibility of redemption.
Every night while the city sleeps, Ahmad, a former Pakistani rock star turned immigrant, drags his heavy cart along the streets of New York. And every morning, he sells coffee and donuts to a city he cannot call his own. One day, however, the pattern of this harsh existence is broken by a glimmer of hope for a better life.
