If you're a fan or even watched Tom Hank's Captain Phillips, Barkhad Abdirahman's face may look very familiar. He was one of the 3 pirates who kidnaps the captain but now he returns with a movie of his own A Stray and we have the movie's new trailer , check it out...
In Minneapolis’ large Somali refugee community, Adan (Barkhad Abdirahman) has nowhere to go. His mum kicked him out, and his friends are tired of his headstrong ways. As a last resort, he moves into the mosque, praying for a little help. Surprisingly, God seems to answer. Adan quickly lands a good job, devout friends, and a newfound faith. When Adan nearly hits a stray dog on the job, he’s forced to take it in for a night. But one of his new mosque friends considers the dog impure, and he throws Adan out. With Adan back on the streets, surrounded by his old crew, ex-girlfriends, prying FBI agents, and his estranged family, the dog may be his only friend as he tries to keep his faith and get through the night.
A Stray made it's world premiere earlier this year at SXSW to some critically acclaimed reviews but that shouldn't no surprise as Filmmaker Musa Syeed’s first narrative feature Valley Of Saints won the World Cinema Audience Award at Sundance and was a New York Times Critics Pick. The above trailer is for the American release, no word on or if A Stray will be released in UK&Ireland, but if we go by the recent reviews, don't be surprised if it gets a limited cinematic release via arthouse cinemas sometime in 2017 or direct to DVD release.
A Stray will get a limited cinema release on 21st October in New York (IFP Media Center) it reaches the rest of the country.
