7:30–10:00 p.m. | College Avenue Student Center
ABU is a journey to the center of a fragmented family while they grapple with religion, sexuality, colonialism, and migration. Through a tapestry of narratives composed of family footage, observation, and classic Bollywood films, gay-identifying Pakistani-Muslim filmmaker Arshad Khan takes viewers through the tense relationships between family and fate, conservatism and liberalism, and modernity and familiarity. A discussion will follow the film screening.

Program co-sponsored by the Center for Social Justice Education and LGBT Communities as part of GAYpril, and by the Asian American Cultural Center as part of Asian Pacific Islander Desi American Heritage Month.
