Man Push Cart

Appeared at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival
In his award-winning feature directorial debut, Ramin Bahrani presents an unforgettable character study of a typical Manhattan street vendor. Early every morning, Pakistani immigrant Ahmad (Ahmad Razvi) sets up a coffee-and-bagel pushcart in Midtown. Yet solitary and stoic Ahmad is a man with a past. His wife is dead and he is so poor, his son must live with in-laws. Back home, he was known as a pop star, but his life in New York is almost an existential parable about the futility of getting by. "Subtly resonant" — Village Voice.
