The Georgia Straight presents an exclusive advance screening of The Reluctant Fundamentalist at Fifth Avenue Cinemas

Mira Nair's latest film, The Reluctant Fundamentalist, opens on Friday, May 17, but the Straight is giving away double movie passes to an exclusive advance screening on Wednesday (May 15) at 7 p.m. at Fifth Avenue Cinemas (2110 Burrard Street).

Taking place in New York, Lahore, and Istanbul, The Reluctant Fundamentalist centres on Changez (Riz Ahmed), a Pakistani man who recounts a story to Bobby (Liev Schreiber), an American journalist, about his experiences in the United States.

Once a Princeton grad seeking his fortune on Wall Street with artist girlfriend (Kate Hudson) in tow, the attack on the Twin Towers and ensuing cultural divide turns Changez's life upside down.

Changez’s dream soon begins to slip into nightmare: profiled, wrongfully arrested, strip-searched, and interrogated, he is transformed from a well-educated, upwardly mobile businessman to a scapegoat and perceived enemy.
