The Animated Film BILAL: A NEW BREED OF HERO Gets an Inspiring US Trailer

We don’t hear about too many films made outside of the West, but maybe we should change that. Bilal: A New Breed of Hero debuted all the way back in 2015 at the Dubai Film Festival and was then screened in 2016 at the Annecy Film Festival. Until now though, we haven’t been able to see it in the United States. That will change this February as Bilal will be in select theaters starting February 2, 2018. This animated film comes from Barajoun Entertainment and it looks really good.

“A thousand years ago, one boy with a dream of becoming a great warrior is abducted with his sister and taken to a land far away from home. Thrown into a world where greed and injustice rule all, Bilal finds the courage to raise his voice and make a change. Inspired by true events, this is a story of a real hero who earned his remembrance in time and history.”

Bilal was directed by Khurram H. Alavi and Ayman Jamal and will feature the talents of Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Ian McShane and China Anne McClain. I’m hoping that it comes to a theater near me, are you?
