On A Wing And A Prayer: An American Muslim Learns to Fly

‘On a Wing and a Prayer’ follows one Muslim-American man on his quest to obtain a pilot’s license. The gently funny film follows Monem Salam as he enrolls in an open-minded flying school. Monem is the son of a Pakistani commercial pilot. His wife Iman's family is Palestinian and although initially dubious about the marriage, accepts the cultural differences. With three young children, Iman is happy to find time to cultivate her inner domestic diva. Monem's "green" decision to commute by scooter only heightens his likeability. ‘On A Wing & A Prayer’ casts modern-day Americans who refuse to succumb to victimhood and stereotypes.
