Synopsis: Day and night for ten years, Yousef Elhaj has worked to build a small business, save money and become a member of his adopted San Francisco community, all while keeping one goal in mind: to bring his wife and once small children over from Palestine to live with him here in America.
In ninety minutes, Corner Store tells the story of Yousef as he travels back to his fractured homeland to finally reunite with his family. But a lot has changed in a decade, and Yousef must confront the new realities in both his family and his country while still keeping alive his dreams of a new life in America with his wife and children.
“Corner Store is a remarkable achievement of documentary filmmaking; immortalizing the everyday to express a facet of human life.”
