PFS BOURSE THEATER | WEDNESDAY MAY 24 | 8:00 PM
400 RANSTEAD STREET | PHILADELPHIA, PA
The Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival invites you to join a free advanced screening of the short documentary ANGEL DOSE (26 mins / 2023). The screening will be followed by a talkback with the ANGEL DOSE’s Oscar-nominated director Sami Khan and film participant Tarik Khan. ANGEL DOSE follows Tarik, a Philadelphia nurse, as he races against time to deliver expiring vaccines across the city to homebound patients before the doses spoil. But with elections looming, the cheerful and ever-optimistic Tarik soon realizes that he will have to change policy to address systemic biases in healthcare. So he decides to run for political office and faces off against an entrenched establishment candidate.
ANGEL DOSE will have its broadcast premiere on WHYY/PBS on Monday May 29th at 9:30pm ET.
