The story follows rising political star Ilhan Omar, a proud hijab-wearing, one-time refugee Somali-American mother and community activist, as she seeks to unseat the long time incumbent who served in the legislature for 43 years. Also in the race is an eloquent male Somali activist who challenged but lost to Kahn in 2014. All three candidates run as progressive Democrats. Ilhan Omar’s win means she will become the first Somali-American, Muslim woman to hold state office in the United States, an especially dramatic prospect given the anti-Muslim rhetoric that brewed in the lead up to the 2016 Presidential race. Although the U.S. failed to elect its first female president, one woman still made history. Ilhan Omar’s story will present a counter narrative to the pervasive negative portrayal of both politics and Muslim immigrants and women in America. It will also raise questions about barriers to access to the political process in this country, and offer a refreshing and inspiring example of overcoming them. Director Norah Shapiro joins us for a conversation  about her intimate and invigorating look into the quixotic campaign and the multi-faceted life of a Somali refugee seeking to bring a new voice and perspective into an evolving American paradigm.For news and updates go to: timeforilhanfilm.comHost a screening!

Time for Ilhan / Film School Radio interview with Director Norah Shapiro

  Happy Friday folks! I’m so glad I get to cap off this election week with an episode of personal and political empowerment. I spoke with director Jamielyn Lippman about her documentary “3 Years in Pakistan: The Erik Aude Story”, director Ashley York about her film “Hillbilly”, director Dawn Mikkelson of “Risking Light” and director Norah Shapiro about her doc “Time for Ilhan”. Now the cool thing about “Time for Ilhan” is that it covers Ilhan Omar’s race for a seat in the Minnesota House of Representatives in 2016 which made her the first Somali-American legislator to hold an elected office, and she just became the first Somali-American Muslim to hold a seat in US congress. So congrats to her! But first I’ve got my movie review of a political defeat in “The Frontrunner”, starring Hugh Jackman which hits theaters this weekend.Full review of “The Front Runner”: http://picturelockshow.com/new-releases/2018/11/7/the-front-runner-review-a-timely-bio-dramaCheck out “3 Years in Pakistan” here: https://www.facebook.com/3YPErikAudeDoc/Connect with “Hillbilly” here: http://hillbillymovie.com/Shine with “Risking Light” here: https://www.riskinglight.com/Make time for Ilhan here: https://www.timeforilhanfilm.com/Picture Lock Links:Take my PR For The Indie Filmmaker online course here: https://indiefilmpr.thinkific.com/Get a partner as passionate as you in your film or film event's publicity: www.picturelockpr.comSubscribe to this podcast in iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/kevin-sampsons-picture-lock/id639359584?mt=2Be sure to visit www.picturelockshow.com for everything Picture Lock!
