Disney’s new streaming platform Disney+ recently announced that they were releasing a short film, titled ‘American Eid’. The film, which is still in the development stages, follows the lives of a Pakistani family who emigrate to America.
The main character, an eight-year-old girl named Ameena, wants to celebrate Eid, but it’s not recognised as an official holiday in the country. As a result, she takes it upon herself to create a petition and start a campaign in order for Eid to be recognised as an official holiday in the US.
