Yoni Brook's documentary short A Son's Sacrifice concerns Imran, an American Muslim poised to take over his father's business - a Queens-based halal slaughterhouse. As a young man of mixed ethnicity, Imran must affirm his own racial identity and struggle to be accepted by his father's immigrant customers. Ultimately, he must commit the titular sacrifice on the holiest day of the Muslim year, which will cement three roles for him: that of Muslim, that of American, and that of son.
