Sacred Cinema - Amal

March 22nd – 7:00 pm at Lakeview United     

A Canadian drama film directed & written by Richie Mehta.  Set in modern-day New Delhi, India, it tells the story of a poor auto-rickshaw driver, Amal Kumar.  Amal is content with his small but vital role – driving customers around New Delhi as quickly & safely as possible.  His sense of duty is tested by an eccentric aging billionaire, who, moved by Amal’s humility, bequeaths to him his entire estate before passing away.  With only one  month  to discover & claim the inheritance, Amal’s struggles with duty & wealth are threatened by all those around him – from a young beggar girl and a lovely store merchant, to the danger of the old man’s upper-caste friends & siblings, all seeking to claim their share of the riches.
