Amal at Jarvis Conservatory

Our August feature is a Bay Area premiere from Belgium. Opening in Orinda on 8/1/25, in the Empress Vallejo on 8/10/25 and in the Jarvis Conservatory on 8/16/25.

This film deals with the tough issues of Muslim immigration and integration into European culture. It is a very current and controversial topic. We believe it is very well done.

Synopsis: Amal, a French teacher in a Brussels high school, encourages her students to cultivate a passion for reading, defend freedom of expression, and promote acceptance of others. But her outspokenness upsets some students and colleagues tied to Islamic extremism. Yet Amal stands her ground, especially when she helps one of her students suspected of being homosexual, has been attacked, harassed and threatened.
