A Son's Sacrifice is a wonderful short movie about a man in New York who gave up his job in advertising to take over his father's halal slaughterhouse business.

The main character, Imram, is a very savvy, 27 year old modern guy and the relation with his traditional father is somewhat strained at times. This is a up-to-date movie that provides a glimpse of a traditional Muslim community living in New York, and the shows the differences between first generation immigrants and their children.

Nice quote: "We're closed to prepare for Qurbani so we don't slaughter chickens now -- why don't you order pizza or something?"

Delightful, made with humor and beautiful visuals. I thought this is the best short of the 2006 Full Frame Festival. See also http://www.sonsacrifice.com/.
